[Music] [Music] well it's georgia's version of the ice bowl if you will a chilly 33 degrees right now a kickoff here tom robinson memorial stadium here in swaney for the first ever class 7a championship ghsa at the caulkwood county packers coming in from region 1 at 11 and 3 and coming up against the north gwinnett bulldogs 13 and 1 but it feels like a wind chill 26 degrees 9 mile per hour wind as we are about to get ready here for a kickoff here in swati larry smith here with the legend tommy palmer here in swaney for this class 7a uh match-up and what a contest we have got here this standing room only crowd tonight let's start with the players starting with concord county and a young man j.j peterson everyone knows about him and he has really come through this year number one in your program number one in the hearts of colquin county packer fans great linebacker has not announced where he's going he's going somewhere we'll find out at the end of the game and if you like him you'll love ty leggett as well another key player for coach pope's packers number 31 ty leggett he is a running back supreme and you will get to see one of the best running backs in the state tonight ty leggett is the real deal and once again uh kolk would try to win now their third state title in the last four years on the other side we mentioned north quinn net shooting for their first ever championship and uh one of the keys there jane mcdonald and what a playoff run he's had well for the last three or four weeks this guy's really turned it up another notch and he's the reason they're 13-1 coming into this championship game and uh he's a great linebacker number eight keep your eye on number eight for north gwinnett and then also ty good to another player to watch now for these bulldogs he runs it if you're gonna win this football game north gwinnett run the ball run the ball give it to five give it to number five he can really play absolutely north gagnet coming in 13-1 of the season let's go to the third member of our broadcast team tonight and john nelson on the sidelines john third number fourth member i'm going to be all over the place tonight the bottom line here there's an underlying story with what's going on in moultrie and it has to do with the future of rush probes in an interview with phil jones on fox sports radio in valdosta on wednesday he mentioned that he has had conversations with jeremy pruitt about possibly leaving moultrie and going up to knoxville to be a part of that and staff up at ut he has also said in that interview that he's going to wait until after the regular season is over and he told us before the game that there are also some other situations not just the one that everyone's linking him to that there seemed to be some interest with his future his pedigree here in the state of georgia is unquestioned chasing after another title when it comes to conqueror county so what's the future for rush probes we may not know but we also know that prior to the rush has said after this game he will go and help the alabama staff where jeremy pruitt still is to help them prepare for their game against clemson so there's an underlying thought there when it comes to colleges second underlying thought the future of j.j peterson could j.j peterson end up going where rush probes goes when it comes to that second level so that's another part of the whole subplot of all of this as rush props tries to tune all of this out to chase after yet another championship for conqueror county where conqueror county is concerned it used to be that they would just get into the playoffs work their magic on the road get here to a game 15 and chase after a title rush had a philosophical change a couple of years ago where he decided that okay here's the deal i want to win region titles i want home games so i can have all of that action down in south georgia and then come up north when i have to that happened up until this season he was the three seed coming out of region one six straight weeks on the road including the weather so how are they going to act with all of these subplots going on around them the weather the travel the futures it is a big subplot larry and tommy will be following that tonight we will also be doing live look-ins and updates to all the other five championship games going on in ocilla in tiger in atlanta in leesburg and everywhere else that you've got a game so we will have it all for you get your popcorn ready folks it's a cold night outside enjoy it inside larry and legend it is yours that's right nellie thanks and we know you were all over that for us and we were talking here a moment ago speaking of uh rush probes to right now usually the visiting team out on the field first but as we take a look right now caulkwood county is not there so a bit of a delay on the field because tommy uh north gwinnett the players are ready to make their big entrance but they want to be the home team as the home team coming out last they're waiting for the packers who are still in the locker room right now you know you take a look at this and and you have to take a look and here we are looking at the locker room all right here comes north gwinnett onto the field the bulldogs coming on and to be sure sooner or later concord county is going to come out of that dressing room in the moment they do we'll have a shot on it there you go that's right well as we talked before uh in the uh early on make your home away from home as you mentioned as john mentioned six straight weeks now they've been on the road out here they've made a lot of frequent road miles if you will trying to get back a beard atlanta how about this uh bulldogs team here north gwinnett bill stewart uh first year what a job he has done 13-1 and as he were in the title game for the third time in school history well when i take a look at this i think nobody in the state of georgia thought bill stewart was going to take northwind to the state finals the first year as a head football coach i don't know that bill stewart thought i'm sure he wanted to i'm sure he thought he probably had the right people but you've got to remember they've lost several key football players but boy they have bundled together to put together one of the best football teams in the state of georgia right now what a season they have had in the story you're right we're going to talk a lot about them and the adversity they went through this season and how they rebounded from it and at the point where he said you know what we may have something here uh with the pieces we've got here uh bill stewart what a job he has done here in his seventh season as a head coach overall 54 wins uh overall here for the uh in his career and i promise uh irzeo's mother that i would say hello to her husband who is in chile we hope you enjoy the game and i'm sure it's a lot warmer in chile right now than it is here in north burnett we will we will be happy to say to you mr arizana uh enjoy the game i believe i pronounced it right if i did not i do apologize and let me make sure i got it right i believe let's see yes it is uh jimmy urzua yes the quarterback that's right yeah so he's in chile she's chilly she's here yeah and here's culkwood county the packers coming out finally uh boy very very late as you can hear the crowd again we are up here in swaney but it sounds a bit like moultrie the packers traditionally their fans travel very well and they are here in mass tonight trying to see if their team from moultrie can win a third championship after going undefeated runs in 2014 and 2015. they get ready to take the field right now and uh again it means we're seeing a bit of the gamesmanship here if you roll from coach tropes at the beginning there he is i have no idea what the psychological value of this is but you can bet one thing this guy you see right here clapping his hands knows exactly what he's doing look at his numbers tenth season down there at caulkwood 105 wins uh seven state titles overall of course he was a legend over in hoover alabama with five state championships there and again going for his eighth overall and third right now uh with the culkwood county um as we get ready by the way uh you know they will have the ball first north gwinnett won the toss but deferred yes and and that's that's unusual usually the home team and a game of this magnitude will take the ball just to settle themselves down but uh hey anything can happen in this one and i'm not making any predictions in the other one uh the game i did last week i predicted 50 to 49 the final was 10 to six i'm not making i'm not making any predictions we're just going to enjoy a football game larry yes we are you know it was funny to walk in here there were people lined up three hours before the game waiting to come in uh it is a raucous crowd they brought in some extra bleachers in the end zone during this week to handle the overflow crowd what they expect people still coming in a lot of people are actually staying inside their cars sure as late as possible to try to stay warm and this tonight again with a wind chill that feels like it's uh it's below freezing larry it's cold here these football players will not be affected by it but uh we're gonna enjoy a great football game it's great football weather we're at the 15th of december it's supposed to be cold and here we go a heads up georgia kickoff heads up georgia.com and here we go moving over to your left that is uh the packers uh with the uh the the uh reception there i'm sorry that on the kickoff the return and we go out number 31 right there that's ty leggett the junior running back we hear a lot about him over a thousand yards rushing on the season and the packers will take over first here in swaney stephen krajewski is your quarterback and he is a dandy he's committed to connecticut and he'll have plenty more offers i think with the run he's taken conqueror county too larry absolutely good looking senior 6-4 205 you see there he starts out in the shotgun right now first down for the packers looking to his main man leggett he's got at the 30 out of the 35 first down to more 40. he's out near midfield legend oh what a way to start for caulkwood county into northwind territory right away what a play here on first down 33 yards on the reception for most people they don't realize this but this is the same thing as a toss sweep they got great blocking on the corner and leggett really turned it up came down the sideline yeah but it's all going to come back it looks like we've got a flag right now here's the call [Applause] that's dijon edwards that actually caught the ball [Applause] what did they call larry that's a holding call right there so what a play but it all comes back for not 33-yard reception and into bulldog territory is wiped out so instead of being first and ten i know this out of the field they're backed up first in 20 now [Applause] inside their own tent at the nine [Applause] krzewski back to pass this time gets it to number two cam singletary the wide receiver he's still on his feet out past the 25 it's a big pick up there in first down as we take a look 16-yard pickup take a look at the starting lineup on offense for the caulkwood county packers as you can see here your regions line up bell barn striker gang and howard they're across the front line and they've gotten the job done all season long into their wide receivers wilson hadley mcdonald singletary and leggett in the backfield second down right now swing pass that's out to leggett he's got the ball and more correction make that yes it's a 31 victor cox actually [Applause] and then his legs it is like my correction there yeah defensive side of the ball up front for north gwinnett walker webster denning and scruggs the linebackers morello stewart and the jaden mcdonald we talked a lot about and in the backfield harrell ridley turner and newsom [Applause] first down another pass very quickly josh hadley the tight end with the catch 6-1-13 he's a load and a good one i tell you what they're spreading it around early taking a look uh northwind brought heat they picked it up with the tight end good throw good catch so this packer offense moving uh very quickly after that uh that penalty ten yard holding going to start things off second down now three yards to go it's a man in motion he's got the ball that's leggett he's got a first down and more across midfield and into bulldog territory on the first run of the game for concord county 13-yard pickup a great pickup block on the corner watch the block on the corner here great block on 37. good blocking downfield boy conquered county has scripted this first series of downs perfectly well they've looked really good here and right now the bulldog deacon's trying to find a way to to stop them using all their weapons first down now just uh just under two minutes gone here in the first quarter class seven a championship game kazewski back to pass again all kinds of time now his pocket breaks down decides to run it good pick up here using all six four on that frame to get inside the 45-yard line and uh turn what could have been a sack into a few positive yards very good and very good blocking up front it just kind of broke down on the back end back there take a look at the the stunt on the left-hand side that's where it broke down coming from the back side and that flushed him out of there already right back up you notice through coffin county their offense moving very quickly right now no huddle already at the line four yard pick up on that second and six lots of time goes underneath that's a catch to cam singletary and he's close to a first down and it is a first down they'll move to chains one more look at it here look at the time tommy that he's got back there offensive line doing a great job he went to his third receiver on that one that is amazing that you have that kind of time good looking quarterback as tommy mentioned he's a uconn commit he'll head up to connecticut play for the huskies next year inside the 40 now first down again for caulkwood county it's a running play this time good defense by north gwinnett that the front four for north gwinnett really doing the job but when you add those two linebackers who really come up there and jump up in the face you gotta call out something what is it gonna be it's gonna be zone or area blocking no doubt and that was a sophomore running back dejon edwards on the carry their four stars sophomore already getting some um some different offers from the likes of uh georgia and tennessee 13 touchdowns on the season for him can play here we've got a penalty looks like it's on northwind five yards that way they're jumping their four men front i mean it looks into almost like a six-man front and that makes it six against five up there and it's just kind of throwing off the rhythm but i'll tell you about this guy right here that you just saw on your screen he's picking them apart right now he is five yards there on the pills he's so second down about four to go looking for legging he's got him there's a little swing pass good tackle right there by quinton newsom the junior safety coming up to make the tackle and uh of course a third down by the way for north gwinnett there are four d1 prospects in that secondary back there folks it's not like he's throwing against young people who are inexperienced they've got some e1 talent back there in that secondary all right it's a big third down play here for the bulldogs defense third and six and gracefully calls his own number and snuffed out right there great play there early on was number 71 not steading the senior defensive tackle great job by him and fourth down now for the packers boy this guy can play keep your eye on him too he's got a great future ahead of him do you go for it here do you go for the three points do you take what they give you let's see payne walker uh the senior also in on that tackle looks like they're going to go for the field goal he's got this range from 49 yards out this is ryan fitzgerald boy he can play he is a kicker falcon county trying to get on the board first uh that would be about a 65.

[Laughter] no worries did you say he had a leg yeah yeah he does have a leg yes he does this guy can kick it county hits gets on the board first a 49-yard field goal by ryan fitzgerald and so they take the opening drive down here in the opening four minutes and uh take a three-nothing lead let's go out to john nelson right now for more john all right we got the other five championship games going on around the state the first spot we're going to be taking an eye on is in central georgia rome and warner robbins going at it rome missed the field goal warner robbins went three and out after a strong defensive stand but you see the fumble there picked up by rome and they're going to stay on the offense with knox kaden but the tough defense for warner robbins keeping tight scoreless rome and warner robbins in 5a nelly thanks for that that scoring drive for the packers 10 plays 49 yards took three minutes 44 seconds and the backer's on the board first i love that he's a good old boy yeah he does he means no harm thank you thank you thank you very much so colquitt uh not ready to kick off and so we'll see north gannettes get the ball first and we talked to tommy earlier in our extra point segment the pregame about this balanced offense of the bulldogs and we'll get a chance to uh see them right away let's see what uh concrete county forces them to do offensively kick is in the air taking out the goal line out to the 15 and stopped right there boy what a big tackle 14 dj turner on the return and that's where the bulldogs will set up chop first a good look at their quarterback and boy what a story here jimmy urzua the senior taking over during the season for the bulldogs tommy yeah and the guy that he took over for is committed to go somewhere else and hasn't played all year played the first game yeah and then got injured how would you like to have a backup like this guy exactly yeah we'll talk a lot about him and the season that he has had and he is a big part of this uh this bulldogs team what they've been able to accomplish here in this 2017 season first and ten right now from their own seventeen a bad snap urzu has got to take it himself and he loses it gets it back though recovers his own fumble and boy what a tough way to start for the bulldogs that snap just kind of uh knuckleballed his way back to it knuckled its way all the way back and this guy right here is is a an all-state player right here i don't know what hit it must have hit the inside of his leg but boy peterson almost got that one right there j.j peterson a little minus seven on the play seven yard loss eric's in the center is a leader on this team and so now on the second down play it's a running play trying to get something going tyler goodson there's goodson running back he gets a small gain and brings up third and long right now so here's your north gannett bulldog lineup brought to you by regions bank bullock skinner and we talk about warren erickson we'll call his number a lot six four three thirty hamilton and anuri along the front walker goodson cunningham downs and fisher the six one senior at the white out number 21 we're watching him as well for a seven a football team not a humongous front line but very athletic larry very athletic very skilled as well and they've really come together uh this season again 13-1 what a year they have had in region six okay so we've got third and 18 back on their own nine long way to go here for the bulldogs and that's an offsides right there j.j peterson the 6-2 226-pound linebacker got a little antsy there yards but you noticed that both sides of the ball when we saw uh call put on defense we see a little bit of a jump there and we when we saw north gwinnett those linebackers are up there really trying to disrupt things and they're very anxious that may be an understatement but they're very anxious everybody's ready to get warmed up larry absolutely absolutely as we talked about this is one of the one of six championship games postponed from last weekend in mercedes-benz stadium because of the weather that hit north georgia third down and 13 still urzua going long he's got a man oh he overthrows him but he had him he had his man beat looking for number 22. uh lj fisher the senior wide receiver and it'll bring up fourth down and the bulldogs have to punt fisher had his man beat he you wouldn't think it was gonna be this way that's right wow three-man front for caulk county yeah grant rivers and merit for the packers that's up front the linebackers are lewis anderson rebels peterson and moore and then in your back real quickly for the packers christopher dawson and mcneil your region's bank lineup for caucus county we'll get the ball back here after the punch right here by northwind good defensive stance by concord county with some help from northwind on this one gets the punt away back at the 45 it's taken right there that's number two that's cam singletary reverses field he's got some room across midfield to the 40. singletary's still on his feet breaks the tackle almost breaks the taco gets it down to 30. and so the caulkwood county packards with the great return there a 38-yard punt and it goes to a 25-yard return for single tearing the packers and they set up chop in their second offensive series on the 30-yard line of the bulldogs tommy whoops to the right nothing there there's the block in the back right there here we go and that's going to come back yeah [Applause] singletary had a pretty good escort service in front of yeah he did he really did coach what are your thoughts on that not happy well i tell you what he's really not thrilled that's now two their two biggest plays they've had the first to play from scrimmage to start the game and then that punt return both negated uh by penalties and that's going to draw the iron in fact you take a look right now uh the entire uh cockwood team is on the sidelines huddling up right now look at this yeah you're getting an air full yeah they're upset about that well with reason i mean it's a mistake sure what a year for colquitt defeating three atlanta area number one seeds in these playoffs all on the road first down now instead of their own 35 after the penalty on the return trishevsky looking to his right he's got a man on he turned and looked oh boy that was cam woods he turned and looked i'm sorry marvin mcdonald right he turned and looked and before the ball got into his hands and you got to catch the ball first tommy there you go you can't run with it too or you catch it good throw i'll tell you what krazewski really really has perfect form throwing the ball he does that's his first incomplete pass five of six for 34 yards here to start this game second down and ten now porsche he'll call his own number [Applause] short pick up there to bring up third down that was just basically a lead with the quarterback tight inside of the fields shifts over to the strong side and he just followed the blocking between the tackle and the tied in nice run there that's quinton newsome there on the tackle so we'll have third down and seven now to 38 as we tick down to the halfway point here in the first quarter class 7a game here on the great gpb six championship games going on tonight glad you're with us here as we come to you live from swanny i'm warmed up you warmed up i'm not bad i'm okay but you know we're up here good some windows that helps krashewski on third down always in trouble the ball comes out it's loose it's a fumble ball still on the ground still no call and it looks like it's going to be fourth down caulkwood county recovers and all they really um lucky to that ball was a hot potato tommy lucky to catch that one and retain possession definitely watch this right there is where he oh it came loose and krajewski managed to scoop that thing up i don't know how he did that what a great great play there bryson scruggs goes off his helmet [Music] concrete now out to punt [Music] ryan fitzgerald on the punt and punts it out of bounds we'll see where they markets still moving now to the 40. good field position for north gwinnett as they take

well here is our game time temp to kick off 33 degrees with a windshield feels like 26. there you go and here we go first and ten right now for the northwest bulldogs that's rosua he is there in the shotgun handoff very quickly right now to number five it's tyler goodson goodson is is one of these guys that has to get warmed up you need to give the ball to him in a repetitive manner and you'll see what he can do with it he is really a perfect size for a back in high school about 5 10 185 maybe 190 and he can burn it four yard pick up there for him and you're right what a big season he has had he'll be big tonight he's got it again no he's not it's a fake handoff and it dropped wow reception by josh downes the sophomore receiver boy arzua threw a perfect pass right to him and he just didn't hang on to it urzua with a perfect toss right here look at it bad place good good fake as well everyone looking at watching uh goodson locked in those linebackers too yeah sure did the slam's going to be open all night long if they run that play to the senior urzua now looking at a third down and six from his own 44. just under five minutes to go here bulldogs down by three to talk with county it's a man in motion will hunter there it is this time his reception oh and he drops the ball bryce fowler the junior and so north gwinnett now faced again with another three and out and uh case of the drops he's here tommy well basically the same kind of thing just kind of camouflaged it a little bit sending a man in motion and just run the receiver across the middle with the weight caulkwood counties playing aggressively with their linebackers everything's going to be open after about eight to 10 to 15 yards in the middle of the field somebody's going to have to pick up the slack for caulk but they need to discuss this on this exchange here for the defense and here we go fourth down they're going to go for it from their own 44-yard line the offense stays in the game that's urzua oh a quick drop kick wow and a dandy and what a play and what a great play they're running it down oh my goodness number 22. l.j fisher what a great job by him and uh to stop that ball 53-yard punt as what a smart play the punter will reichert staying on the sideline in stella josue with the pump let's go nelly all right let's give you the updates of some of the other games going on around next stop other than blessed trinity and marist blessed trinity leading by the score of seven nothing you'll see the pass head right to the pylon get it duck it in blessed trinity points on the board also a pick six puts points on the board in other games seven nothing also hateful charter leading raven county second quarter first and ten right now and it's a play right up the middle for caulkwood crack county that's uh john edwards the sophomore and we talked about what a season he has had again just a sophomore number it's a four-star yeah running back krazewski is five out of six for 34 yards and four runs for three yards two yard pickup there so now to the five to that uh very nifty play that put the packers deep in their own territory second down and eight now great play right there oh what a job wow by number 48 that was payne walker the big senior defensive end getting his mitts up and batting that off into the air and uh could have been an interception if they had found it but it brings up a big third down play now for this bulldogs defense the biggest difference in high school football is people are not afraid to throw it from their own two or three yard line now jessica almost caught the ball he did it's what a big stop here for the bulldogs if they can get it third and eight [Applause] treshes instructions from the sideline yeah he's changing the play changing the play [Applause] play clock winding down it's down to five krazewski looks over the middle and incompletes good throw intended for cam singletary just a little low a little bit low and so what a big defensive stop here by the bulldogs but look at the territory in the middle of the field that's open when you dog those linebackers like that you see all that space in the middle out there if he gets that up a little bit it's going to be powder river for somebody yeah well and that was a nice change again to see what the defense was doing change the play had the right play just couldn't make the throw right and so it is fourth down instead and ryan fitzgerald out to punt for the second time from deep in his own end zone good snap flag right there it's going to be it's a false start against the packers wow they're going to back them up to about the 2 yard line myers iii our referee tonight [Applause] looking at uh coach rush probst not a happy man at this point no that's that's could be key so we'll try it again this time he gets it away angled over to the sideline and actually he does go out of bounds all right so uh the bulldogs will take over let's go back down to nelly here's that pick six that we promised you it came from the 5a title game roman warner robbins were scoreless first play second quarter up in the air trey hodges comes down with it he'll go all the way from the left hand side of the screen to the right rome leading warner robbins by the score of 7 to nothing also on the board raven county with a field goal they now trail hateville charter by the score of 7-3 48-yard kick by fitzgerald from harm's way it's no fun kicking it out of that end zone no it isn't and so once again here let's see if the north canada can take advantage of their best field position so far their third uh time on offense on the field the senior zoo at quarterback now that's a lateral and sniffed out very well let's see if they make a difference that he can that's tyler goodson he's got running room first down and more inside the 40 of caulkwood county got to get him out in space and that's what they're doing they'll use him as a slot receiver they'll also use him as a running back boy he's got some good speed that doesn't take him long to get wide open what a year he has had 1300 yards rushing 19 touchdowns big play there 13-yard pickup down to the 36 now with the packers the motor urzua surface surveys the defense same thing get out the space he's got a blocker he can get around a nice play there and he gets some positive yards that's josh down the sophomore receiver downs he's already getting some activity from colleges across the country this guy's a sophomore in a 7a league and boy can he motor he can play he's got great size six yard pick up there down to the 30. bulldogs with some momentum now started by their defense the big stop to flip the field and now they're trying to get on the board here taken down to three minutes left in the first quarter seven a game [Applause] up here at northwind that's goodson with the carry stops and looks and big tackle right there by that's the man we've been looking for yep nice play and here it is again zone blocking found the hole very little there however good reaction by call quick counting those linebackers are really special for concord county number nine marcus anderson also number 33 dante moore in on that tackle big play there 3-4 set for concrete and it's a wildcat offense a direct snap there to goodson he's got the ball he's got a first down and more he's inside the 25 and a big play number number four jay ward there on the tackle good block on the corner two [Applause] spreading it out some trick plays here and there you mentioned tommy getting guys out into space and see what they can make happen here another first down bulldogs on the move trying to get on the board here in the first quarter urzua fakes the handoff throws all almost kicked off right through the hands of caleb dawson the senior safety and he knew he had it he did have it that was an ill-advised throw nothing was open in the middle of that time if you'll take a look at that nothing in the middle is open too many white jerseys out there trying to force it in there to josh downs yeah and it'll bring up a second out in ten at the 23. for the bulldogs number two cameron butler there moves over to the right side of jimmy urzua he's got the ball no it's urzu with the keeper gets it inside the 20 before he stopped by richard revels the junior linebacker and bring up third down play excellent defensive stand this time by concord county let's see what north gwinnett can do here this time for a big play down there you need a big play right here larry that's right rebels 185 tackles a leading tackler on this packers team here third down and six now from the 19. that's goodson lining up right next to urzua urzua wants to throw oh a little bit high and it'll bring a fourth down pass intended for number nine bryce fowler the junior and fourth down and we had a decision to make right in your face here it comes folks right there this is a young football team when you get right down to it north gwinnett is a young football team as is conqueror county both these teams were supposed to be a year away look here they're playing for the championship tonight that's right 36-yard google attempt now for their junior kicker cameron clark trying to even this game at three and put the bulldogs on the board [Music] hold and it's up and it's no good off to the left somebody may have touched that one it just had a funny look to him he didn't hit it well at all so north gwinnett avoids uh they fall short and getting on the boards go back down to john nelson all right guys let's show you what's going on quickly down in leesburg badland region 16a for the title fourth down looks like it's gonna be a fourth down play here for coffee up seven to nothing and does lee county get the stop that's the question they're gonna look at the measurement at the fourth down and one and it's short lee county gets the stop and they take over on down's coffee right now leading seven to nothing back here to live action that's out to leggett with the reception and caulkwood county very quickly getting out there a 23-yard pickup for kashewski and now coco county on the move now approaching one minute to go here in the first quarter north went out a nine play drive with no points those hurt [Applause] senior quarterback looks left has his man that's complete and more to singletary and that's good enough for another first down the amazing the amazing thing is singletary's five six 145 150. he plays so much bigger than that doesn't he yes he does 11-yard pick up there for singletary and culkwood is on the move now under a minute to go here in the first quarter and they move into northwind territory the senior kashewski again that throw was low and it's incomplete yeah had him out there didn't get it to it [Applause] and the crowd across the way tells you what they feel and we can hear them we can and the ball looked low no question about that because his members on the year 2200 yards 22 touchdowns only six interceptions we talked before he's committed to go to yukon next season second down and 10 now from the bulldog 46 that's leggett he's got it seize a hole runs into a halt of tacklers there led by number 30. that'll bring up a third down play also number 23 darmani ridley the senior part of that contingent there yeah third down and about eight here i think they'll probably let the first quarter in here i think so stewart on that let's see if they try to get one in under 10 seconds to go third and seven at the 43. krazewski no final play of the first quarter and here it is he's got a man open and he can't quite get it to him just missed him out there looking for marvin mcdonald the junior and that will bring up the end of the first quarter it's been a defensive stand so far what a game here the first ever class 7a championship here from northwind high school it's been the packers so far three nothing at the end of one

other other side for the uh uh caulk with ryan fitzgerald uh he's six foot junior and so now it's a northwinette that will take over you know that that one 39-yard punt by the way there for the packers talking about the the 2a game and the game there i'm sorry with the hateful charter you know what job they've done they don't have a home field no they don't i saw the story that john didn't they don't have a home field don't have a home stadium don't have a home practice field they practice next to the road that runs by the school yeah unlike the sand yeah what a job they've done there first and ten now for the bulldogs oh what a big hole for goodson he's got a big first down and more great job here by the star player goodson and the bulldogs get going it's brought down by 14-yard dante moore the safety look at the big hole look at the blocking a little cross blocking and there's big number 55 just rolling them like 10 pins from that center position very quickly now no huddle offense the bulldogs trying to get something going miss field goal last time they had the ball defense held again goodson had the ball again oh what a job he does just step left zone blocking for north gwinnett down there boy that offensive line looks like it's ready to go to work goodson about the time he gets warmed up they take him out so let's see what's happening here this guy right here can play the guy that's over the ball man can he play erickson remember that name he's committed to georgia he's going to go there actually here in a couple of weeks he's going to go and a big hole right here he's off to the races to the 40 to the 30 inside the 25 yard line that's devin crosby the sophomore running back well finally brought down by number four jay ward watch the hole here if we've got a shot of this watch the block up front wow that's how you do it folks a little cross block between the center and the guards pull the guards to the right and there it was and the bulldogs 52 yards there on that carry and now it's good said again he's got a big hole and suddenly this bulldogs offensive line controlling the line of scrimmage and making it happen caleb dawson on the stop there for the packers watch this very athletic front wall wow they're going to work folks watch them for a little while here watch those guys up front yeah that's enough for a first down down to the 14-yard line 10-yard pickup they're on the move it's goodson again runs into a halt of tacklers this time revels is in there along with anderson on the stop for the packers grant rivers and merit the three with their hands on the ground for conquer good play that time defensively linebackers have to give a lot of help when you have that three-man front yeah goodson uh coach saying he's as good as any running back in the state 240 yards against norcross had a sprained toe out for three weeks came back with a vengeance here in the playoffs two yard pick up there for him 12 yard line second and eight herzua the senior looking to throw he's got a man caught complete that's number 16 riley walker in the catch and dejan [Applause] good catch and a good tackle that time by the secondary for caulkwood county there tamari juicy lewis the junior makes the stop five yard pickup so brings up third and three right now [Applause] north gwinnett seeking their first ever state championship and come up short twice before direct snap to goodson and he is swarmed under oh my goodness number one j.j peterson and marcus anderson they're on the stop bad snap and it goes wow over his head and i don't care how good you are at running back if you get one like that upside the head you can't do much with it this is a timing thing down here on the goal line well and it's got it really hurts too because boy they had such momentum already in this game goodson now already nine carries 41 yards but he lost some on that one so it brings out cameron clark now he missed his last attempt he did in the first quarter same angle this time all right same angle 30 30 yard attempt tommy sorry about that riley walker the hold pain walker is the long snapper this time it's up and it looks like it's good and it is right down main street so cameron clark with the equalizer here 3-3 the score 8 26 to go in the second quarter let's go back down to nelly all right let's take a look and see what's going on a bit frank snyder stadium and tiger take a look at what's going on in double a you have a team in their 70th year and a team in their seventh year hateful charter and raven county once again thanks to our friends at nfhs networks lee shaw went home to rebuild this program and hateful charter has been in control you see all that big offensive line that's been protecting hajj malik williams all season long right now they've been getting the best of raven county 14-3 up in the northeast georgia mountains under two minutes to go in the first half and you see the misdirection there and the speed to the outside down the sidelines inside raven county territory winston gordon and the hornets are at it again on offense hoping to put more points on the board [Music] as we're back here in swalny now we've got a new game 3-3 cockwood county and northwind at that field goal uh by the way the bulldogs nice drive eight planes 84 yards and three minutes 25 seconds to tie this enough here at three and finally get on the board here at home in this class at a state title game both coaches trying to encourage their respective teams as you see that's right the packers now on the return and that's leggett he's takes the ball and he's got a seam he's got a blocker in front as well but a great open field tackle right there by quinton newsome to keep that from becoming a possible big gain 20-yard return for leggett and so now the packers will take over first out and 10 and it's a new game now tied up as we mentioned before or what a run they've had this you told me this supposed to be a down year for them these this last year and they won back-to-back undefeated state titles in 2014-2015 last year a down year tough start and four they wound up going all the way to the quarterfinals this year in the finals and really uh coach pope says the next three years he really likes his team only 15 upperclassmen in this team well 15 seniors i'll tell you the way he said it to me okay in just a minute yeah he's got his own number he's first down and more oh what a great job here by the senior quarterback great job at a tackle there by jayden mcdonald number eight 14 yard pickup for the senior well what coach props told me this summer said we'll probably win seven games six or seven games but he's also said if you gonna get me you probably need to get me this year because for the next three or four years nobody's gonna get us he's they've been loaded at the junior high level now for a couple of years and these kids are all not coming to high school that's why chefsky is really under duress and finally has to throw it away he was chased mightily by knox dinning number 71. we've got a flag though on the play in the uh defensive backfield and we'll see grounding you're going to call brownies he passed a lot of scrimmage i think he was here's the call what'd he say and he's talking to the coach he's asked if he has any hand warmers yes that one it is yeah okay first down again penalties really hurting the packers here help it's not weak lips right all right well thank you coach let me back it up a little bit here to the 39 go all right and this first and 15 right now looking out that is actually a pass a great job there the single terry but oh what a job uh by number 37 to make the stop nicolas puccerello the junior linebacker sniffed that one out and kept it from being a big game yes indeed good coverage that time by northwind almost a pick almost an interception yeah if he arrives a moment sooner uh he's got a pick out there tell you what this bulldog defense very nice job so far in the first quarter and a half here at home yep second and 15 again here no gain on that play hand off to leggett right side and he runs into a man gets away from that and gets into some space out near midfield great pickup there by the star running back darmani ridley this senior drops them after a 10-yard gain this is what i like about this guy he sticks it up in there tough and he is not afraid to take a hit and keep on ticking big play there brings up a third and about four right at midfield three three game class seven eight championship can caucus county do it again the senior kashewski with the call looks to his left and it's incomplete pass was intended for singletary great defense there by jack mcgill make that correction dj turner number 14. free safety boy he was in the right position at the right time he was right there on top of him larry and this bulldogs defense has really done a nice job overall they've really uh when you look at the the weapons that caulker county has with uh which meshes uh with uh uh singletary of course i'm trying to give his name of a 31 leggett the running back a lot of weapons there they've really held them in check sure [Applause] and a timeout now for conquer and we'll take a timeout as well tommy 6 30 right now here in the second quarter and what a defensive struggle we have up here at northwind high school packers and dogs tied at three if you text while driving it's like turning the wheel over to your dear old grandpa your nosy neighbor your nephew no the younger one [Music] and on top of

to go first half cockwood and north gwinnett are tied at threes let's take the tour and show you what else is going on heading back up to tiger taj malik williams under center his second touchdown of the night and the kids from westminster wcat are the ones doing the production for this one hateful charter right now leading 21-3 that one is now at the half you saw 17 seconds to go in the half when that touchdown was made as we get ready for the punt bt at the half leading marist seven nothing okay in the fourth punt already here for uh cockwoods that's number 21 that's cunningham calling the fair catch right there about the 16-yard line so they'll take over and so ryan fitzgerald the punter with a 34-yard punt so it's once again what a defensive struggle as we're here in the second quarter class 7a larry smith the legend tommy palmer and john nelson on the sidelines let's take a look here about how the bulldogs got here 13-1 out of region six this is what they've done here in the playoffs look at that offense yeah 55 separate from goal to their first sight they get by grayson and that's always a touch match up a barn burger at marietta and then they route mckaytran last week to get here right that one that one happened late and those big scores yeah yeah yeah one of those and that was right it was here yes it was 625 to go now first down from the 16 for the bulldogs that's a handoff good blocking yet again up front and that's cameron butler the senior running back anderson on the stop offense really thrown into a loop early on kate courtney's at texas a m commit suffers an injury the quarterback and so jimmy urzua takes over they've been undefeated since he became the starter he's homecoming king coach says he's a likable guy and he's got the bulldogs right here in the shot of their first ever state championship and there he is with the throw urzua what a great catch and run oh nice job right there that's the young sophomore josh downs number eleven washington on the stop after a 20-yard pickup boy down to some kind of fine receiver as a sophomore good size good speed good footwork right there tommy how about that that's a big time move nice sideline dance there down to the 41 and so uh once again both offenses moving a little bit but not getting a lot of scoring here and the bulldogs and urzua trying to stop that that's downs in motion and the throw is thrown to him and actually may have been a lateral and what a great job there to set that out dante moore the senior safety right there to drop him for a big loss that's the way you play safety you play whether he's the free safety or the strong safety boy this guy really got after it he recognized that in a hurry it looked like the defensive line kind of shifted to the left like it was going to be a run but boy the secondary did their job at home sure did eight-yard loss right there good look at urzua and the job that he has done as we talked about this season how about that going undefeated you get an eight-yard loss so it's uh [Applause] second now in about 18.

[Applause] mizzou changing the play oh he's the center didn't know he snapped the ball wow that is a miscommunication big time there look at this this is the second time this has happened it's rolled back there jj peterson there on the stop and that's really just not like uh their big center unusual warren erickson we've talked about him the georgia commit didn't realize and just kind of knuckle the ball back there you know erickson began uh else when the offensive line was moved to center after the milton game but really consider the glue of this offensive unit so now third in a long way 21 to go for a first down here for north winnett that's goodson out in motion mirzua looks his way now looks downfield throws long he's got a man there oh it's picked off quite a great job by jay ward [Applause] and ward still on his feet he's out to midfield and the cheers you hear from the other side of the field and the conflict county fans a 12-yard return after the interception what an athletic move by jay ward watch this what's the replay on this a little under thrown secondary right where they need to be oops here we go good pressure inside wow boy or zoua went down hard he did brian merritt there the junior defensive lineman and what a job by ward and he just saw the ball first that ball intended for lj fisher who didn't quite see it looked back for it while he was looking for it ward already knew where it was jumped up made the great play and what the show you the great strength to drag uh some players towards the ends of his teammates helping push him as well into good field position that's right back out to midfield so the biggest play on defense so far and it brings up a first down in midfield and a running play here the packers getting five yards before finally swarmed under oh that looks like that was number three the junior the sophomore edwards there for caucus county and on the stop was a number 29 miles webster diaz john edwards the sophomore and ty leggett the junior need i say more they're back next year yeah they're outstanding actually a six yard pick up second and four right now and then and there he is again edwards another pick up we talk about again how young these players are on both sides and he's a guy like you said that you can take a look at a guy like legging who's only a junior and edwards is a sophomore and colleges are already saying hey we'd like for you to play football for us on saturdays third down and one right now a quick snap to get it to leggett he's got a first down and more great strength and still on his feet brought down by a number of players nicolas puccirello was among those in on the tackle the junior linebacker for the bulldogs let's fix the shoulder pad and a boy quarterback pradesky fix the shoulder pad for you he does it all doesn't he yes he does he drove the bus today that's right caulkway county coming in 11-3 out of region six trying for their third state championship in four years and the first ever to win on the newly created 7a that's leggett again with the big pickup on first down gets it inside the 30-yard line and the packers now on the move after that big defensive play the interception that returned by ward and the packers invading this business and leggett the junior a bit slow now to get up as he is still down and that'll cause the stoppage and play yeah well nice blocks on the right-hand side by leggett you know when you play this many games this is game 15 and this is week 18 they've been playing football and uh everybody's beaten banged up you know we're at the end of the season here but uh anything like a high ankle sprain or anything that's gonna been a problem let's take a look at it right here good blocking on that side just zone blocking here actually kind of gave way on him it looked like his left ankle kind of gave way on it looked like might have had a one of the players going to run up behind him there maybe a knee in the calf we'll watch him like it you see his numbers here on the knife five carries 39 yards over 1200 yards on the season as well from him 6.3 yards per carry on the season big part of this offense for the packers so a seven yard pick up there as we return now to play getting down to the two-minute mark here in the second quarter that's jessica the senior number eight taking over the defense handoff to edwards he goes right side brought down there by number 71 knocks deading among a host of bulldogs short of a first down they're going right-handed big number 79. come on 6-3 3-22 just a biscuit short of 325. boy he's a big guy look at him it's a one-yard pickup third and two now that's edwards in the backfield for the packers he takes the ball looks right side again and he's appears to hand the first down looks like they're going to mark it there he's close like it out of the game so edwards now the feature back [Applause] sophomore we talked about the year he's had just shy of the i don't know what his numbers are tonight 984 yards coming in so he's close to a thousand yards rushing right on the season as well 15 yards tonight so he's actually sitting right at 999 yards well when you've got two that you can just interchange like falcon county has done on this particular drive first down for the packers we've got a penalty and they have a second let's see what happens the packer fans certainly one of the flag is not coming they feel that number eight jaden mcdonald did pull up and didn't hit here [Music] five yards fall start on the offense take his offense back five yards and do it again from the 31 first down and 15 yards to go and a time beginning to be a factor right now all both teams have all three timeouts you see their caulk but already six penalties for 38 yards yeah they've been penalized a lot and some of those have gone very big plays key moments here rush probes packers clock winning again under a minute to go now and another flag both sides pointing fingers at the other side let's see what's on it's on conquer county again in his 10th season at caulker county he cannot believe that he may complain all the way back down to moultrie about that one wow seven penalties 43 yards now for the pack and clock running again now you're back to first and 20 at the 36. handoff to edwards oh he breaks a couple of tackles how impressive is he he is good nice tackle right there number 55. it's warren eric's make that uh tristan shackleford they've got two timeouts left looks like they are gonna just settle to be able to get a field goal they do have two they did give up they took one early on that the only tidbit on the field in that pun play second down in 14 now clock is ticking under 20 seconds to go under pressure and he's brought down and out of field goal range now and there he is jayden mcdonald the senior linebacker as tommy talked about in the pregame what a year he has had these playoffs 12-yard loss and what a huge play tommy this bulldogs defense at just the right time good play there he is jayden mcdonald number eight he gets warmed up it's going to be a long night i said he's a senior linebacker and i'll tell you what i think he's going to be a very busy young man between now and signing day here in early february we've got a timeout now on the field and i didn't see who called it but we're now only back to the 42 and so with that play now the packers really probably out of field goal range though certainly the one field goal he hit from 49 yards as you pointed out could have cleared from 60. so yeah they may take a shot at this if they at the 42 it'd be about a 59-yard close to a 60-yard field goal attempt county with the time-out i would imagine there's going to be a desperation throw here or are they going to let fitzgerald try let's take a look and see it doesn't seem like he's warming up he's kind of looking [Music] boy he can kick it that was impressive what he did early on in the open scoring in the first quarter and that 49-yard attempt and so it looks like we're going to try a hail mary play as the offense is on the field probably the final play of the first half as we are tied to three of defensive struggles majeski he's under pressure again gets the throw down field and it's incomplete no flags on the field and that's the way the first half ends so my goodness defense all over the place we've seen big time interceptions we've seen a big sack we've had a lot of penalties for caulkwood county and we really in the first 24 minutes the same way we started tied 3-3 right now at halftime what's going on to john nelson now i know that you're tied you got points on the board with a really long field goal but i know the penalties are driving you crazy i mean absolutely nuts i mean that's just pure pure not real smart football right there i mean you know you got a guy that's been starting for 14 dang ball games and and we take a sack we don't use you know we we don't do anything right right there that resembles a 7a quality football team right there it's awful and then uh i mean we got best kicker in in high school football sitting right here you're gonna go in six to three at worst six to three and you know what that comes back and makes you at the end all right so then adjustments other than that i know obviously just putting the pedal down you're getting pressure on north gwinnett defensively too yeah i thought defensively we're playing pretty good you know and and i think that uh but it's a typical cold weather mid december football game as i remember them you know just like the nfl in january they're always going to be low scoring yeah they're going to be low scoring they're going to bowl down to a player two that's uh going to determine the game it's not going to be high scoring and and uh we're just going to have i'm starting with me we got to get some composure calm down go in and make some corrections come back out and play a better better football game second half eliminate some mistakes and penalties go make your adjustments thank you man send it over to nikki the halftime show officially starts right now right now guys

education for him to come from michigan and be in the jv games last year now that he's starting and it looks like he's heading back up north to be a starting quarterback when it comes to his his college years but i think that a lot of other colleges after this season we'll be looking at him a little further and you're going to catch up with them in just a moment i'm going to catch up with

and how much of really a part of the fabric it is here in the state of georgia and how it is something key that needs to be addressed you need to put the phone aside you don't need to drive distracted and between georgia public broadcasting and the governor's office of highway safety we came up with our heads up georgia campaign we awarded the winner of the psa contest in the all access pass and the pregame show and it's testimonials like this one about brian mixon that you're going to see here in just a sec that really drive the message home i've been a cop for about 15 years i've been in some i've had some calls that couldn't wash off in the shower the hardest i ever got hit in my life was from a mom that i had to tell her her son wasn't coming home i've got a friend of mine who his first crash he responded to was a multiple fatality with children and he quit he's not a cop right now i speak on distracted driving across the state constantly many times the person who gets injured in those crashes are not the person engaging in that poor choice it's other people on the roadways my daughter was driving through an intersection and was hit by another driver who wasn't paying attention i watched this car literally t-bone my baby in front of me the driver in the other vehicle front seat passenger her having a conversation she was cognitively visually distracted she was looking at her passenger and wind up running the red light and could have took my baby for nothing she got banged up a little bit her car got totaled out but she's okay we've got to change car crash fatalities as being socially acceptable distracted driving contributed to more than 3 500 people's deaths last year i'm just tired of it i'm just ready for us to kind of back up a little bit we're over 1300 fatalities since january in georgia if we had 1300 homicides since january we'd have task force everywhere we'd have no limit on resources our laws would mirror the way that we feel about it in our society we can make a decision and reduce the number of fatalities and crashes distracted driving is preventable today immediately great words from brian mixon there about distracted drive you got to make it not cool anymore you know that's the thing it's if you're in the car with somebody and they're driving and they're driving distracted make it not cool tell them to put that phone down

back here at halftime about to start the third quarter and boy what a defensive matchup so far 3-3 caulkwood county and north gwinnett as we uh carry the crown the first ever 7a champion in the state of georgia the newly uh formed classification here in 2017. some highlights not many of them though here in the first half tommy palmer tie legged early on with the a big gainer here and that uh they've moved the ball down the field that's the senior kaczewski with the big catch to single terry and finally set up the 49-yard field goal and they made it a three-nothing game early on and that was a score for really much of the first half sure until later on big sack right here and recovery there by uh mcdonald on the other end that's goodson tyler goodson with the big catch a big run and then this the big play the biggest win on offense uh devin crosby the sophomore running back a 52-yard pickup winner goodson again he takes it down field goal attempt here after missing one earlier that one he gets to go cameron clark makes it 3-3 big play here on defense tommy with ward making the interception yeah and the thing that you like here is the unity of the team boy they all got the spirit of the thing here didn't they it's like a rugby scrum as you said john nelson what do you got okay so your first 24 minutes as a head coach in a championship game what do you think man you know it's a fun game i mean i i i love this game and i mean it's awesome uh being here and and this is a fun game to be in and that's we keep stressing our kids it's fun to be in here and uh you know we we we also you know we just like them you know we feel like we we made a lot of mistakes it kind of kept us from moving the ball or or or uh kept them on the field those kind of things so you know obviously they're the same way so what were the conversations in there i mean was it about missed opportunities was it about hanging on to the ball what was it about it's more about uh uh just executing on both sides of the football and and fits and things like that you know just uh you know obviously you come out for a state championship game and there's going to be a few little wrinkles and things like that and just kind of managing that and uh and then just continuing to play we'll go get on the second hand thank you thank you bill stewart guys let's send it back upstairs for 24 minutes i'm just going to go ahead and use the r word guys regulation nelly thanks we'll talk to you in a bit in fact tommy palmer's we took a look at some of the halftime stature you see very even 131 yards are for colquitt 130 for the bulldogs even as well with first downs penalties the big thing we talked about the entire first half and certainly that got the uh they uh raised the ire of uh rush probes there just before halftime when then nedley talked to him yeah those are those are just killers those those penalties that they suffered through there but it's just been one of those games where there's been very little rhythm there have been two or three really good plays but then there have been those times where a team has not developed rhythm and that's the way you win football games is you get rhythm and and neither team has gotten into a rhythm as i call it right now you know we talked to bill stewart uh last week before that this championship was supposed to be played in the georgia dome this was supposed to be last saturday night inside i'm sorry inside mercedes-benz stadium old habits certainly die hard there's no question um but when you look at really you know coach stewart talked about that you know he said you know how limited and special these opportunities are uh he said you know we'd love to get a championship it's not the most important thing um but they do want to get a win here obviously and he talked about just the you know the teams they played and they had to beat um he said most teams that they played this year really uh you'll win at least two rounds in the playoffs parkview mill creek milton walton and mountain view i mean they went through just a murderous row if you will and then here tonight against uh the mighty caulkwood county packers and they play them even to the first 24 minutes yeah and then you turn around and you take a look at conquer county you know they were on the road early on as a number three seed then they turn around and they play an archer they play a brookwood they play uh walton in the corners yeah yeah so you know both teams are are battle tested but i would imagine at this point you've got a half left they're they're probably all battle weary yeah let's just see which one can come up with the adrenaline they need to win the football game i think you're right now uh the opening uh coin flip was won by northwind at the bay deferred so the bulldogs would get the ball here to start the second half as we again talked about some of the the numbers of very even numbers again on both sides here and if you can't tell it is a very chilly night the temperature is now dropped at 32 degrees with the windchill uh it feels like 25 degrees as we get ready for the heads-up georgia kickoff right now that is uh it's a good solid 25 degrees in it well it's a you know what's it but it's it's a dry chill it's uh you know oh is it i can't feel my fingers yeah ryan it's a little more chilled my brother that's right brian fitzgerald to set the kick off as you can see the two uh receivers down there for north gwinnett 21 giovanni cunningham [Applause] look at that ready to receive into the end zone and it'll come out to the 20 yards mr fitzgerald's got quite the foot there he can really kick it this is this weather is not conducive to kicking any right no it's not that's a cold football good look there at jimmy or zoo as we talked about 12 and oh always the starters taking over for the injured that kate porton who broke his leg early on and there are your temperatures right now 31 degrees excuse me the guy's the truck making sure we get this accurate and that to win some miles an hour feels like it's 17. it is chilly and tommy you and i talking halftime the cold probably part of the reason for a little bit of sloppy play on both sides it is really is it's it's hard to play in this kind of weather simply because you can't get that warm you get warm enough to play but you can't get warmed up we don't see anybody leaving because of sweating on the field no no there's a good look right there that kind of typifies the way everybody feels tonight good crowd here those uh end zone bleachers brought in special here at the uh during the week uh here at tom robinson memorial stadium in swaney boy this is a beautiful facility it is it really is a great crowd we talked about they were here and i got it three hours before kickoff they were already here i see russia's kind of coated up as well did you see he's put another layer right here yeah i'll tell you what's going on yeah we'll delay in play right now i'm not quite sure looks like we've got a play clock issue that's the play clock right there uh that's not operating for some reason and this is this is on the end zone that's actually to your right so it's behind the bulldogs but right now junior zoo can't see it on the other end but they will keep it on the field that clock is not operating either so play clock is being kept by the officials and here we go first play from scrimmage and it goes to goodson and what a great arm tackle right there by juicy lewis and junior's safety camari he's a junior came up and made the stick that's the way you play defense right there folks that's the way you do it that's a good stop right there to start the defensive set here for rush probes packards look at his numbers first half five of 11 for 40 yards that one interception again on that play where he was really under duress on a third down play second down now in 12 loss of two in that play for goodson 10 carries for him 39 yards for the bulldog star three five three defense he's got it again oh and he went to go make his move and just tripped and fell and he could see there he had some daylight to the left side good blocking up front that's about northwind and he just slipped and the feet just came out from under simple toss sweep but zone blocking up front good defense that time by call court county but good blocking up front by north gwinnett sure was i don't think they was it no gain and it was so still from the 18 third and 12 now three-man front ends on the ground for cosworth mike mirzuh gets it out and that's complete and a first down out to the 38-yard line it's lewis again number three on the stop big play there for the bulldogs this is a perfect throw between two defenders watch this great throw and then knocks him out of bounds good throw by arsua and a good catch great catch there yeah that's right lj fisher's uh the deep threat it was injured earlier didn't think he would play in the semi-final game against the brookwood then up scoring a touchdown 20-yard gain there and so we're first and ten now to the 39 right now for northwind the handoff goes and that's big he is off to the races first down and more cameron butler the running back gets an end to caulford county territory before he's brought down by jay ward look at the blocking up front just zone blocking and a cut back by the running back my goodness he almost gashed that one great move out to the 43 now kaufman first down again as this bulldog offense is on the move tonight to live action now they're in the bottom part of your screen or making the call [Music] [Applause] handoff this time it's to goodson what a spin move to get out to the 40 35 and out of bounds there where he's hit and that's gonna draw a flag for a late hit against the packers [Applause] jay ward with the hit there and we'll get the official call referee myers the third these are the penalties that have really hurt conquered so far these kind that the unnecessary ones nine yard up plus the penalty and that'll bring up a first down and so let's take one more look at it here good move by goodson and he was out of bounds there so nine yards plus the penalty one more look at it that was an easy call right from the referee as well yeah so to the 18-yard line of caulkwood county goes north quinnette first and ten now they hand off to goodson he goes right side he's got a block he's got a hole at the ten he's still on his feed going for the pylon can he make it touchdown north quinn at 10 they go on top 18-yard run for number five tyler goodson we told you early on in the program give the ball to gibson take a look at this this kid can play this is a super running back folks watch the moves he makes on this touchdown take a look tcsg touchdown replay here he is his coach calls him as good a running back as eddie in the states takes advantage of his block gets outside and shows that first to speed to get to the end zone and the bulldogs on top now ready to kick the extra point tcsg touchdown replay technical college system of georgia will reichert now on for the kick [Music] riley walker the hold and nothing to it six play 80 yard drive in 225 and just like that for the first time in this game it's the north gwinnett bulldogs at home with the lead in the class 7a championship 10-3 they're on top

against walton 31-28 and they find themselves on top here for the first time tonight how about the job by tyler goodson touchdown here four carries 25 yards on that scoring drive by the bulldogs tcsg scorer and good to now 10 touchdowns here in the postseason that's a big time run that he made earlier for the touchdown he really cut it up in there took a giant step and went to the right and went for that timeline he did everything he needed to do there and now the kick there's a return and it's a nice one so far all out and open space that's j.j peterson trying to make something happen right now j.j a peterson he is a he's a good good reason to have the ball there how about this scoring drive here some of the big plays nice job there by urzua good fake there to get cameron butler out in the open and then goodson here nice move the spin move gets out in space gets out of bounds and then the late hit that's a 15-yard penalty there and that set up goodson going to the right side taking advantage of his blocks but also the great speed and then just the strength to get to the pylon so first down right now that's a pass intended for number three to john edwards incomplete it brings up second down right now for the call quick county packers 26-yard return on the kick by peterson and second down now for concord county everybody can't make the kind of moves that mr goodson made down here on that touchdown cockwood also again neither team really huddling up they prefer to get right to the line and then see what they've got i mean make a change from the sidelines that they feel like they need to second down he sends a man in motion looking to his receiver oh another dropped ball we've seen too many of those tommy definitely 44 josh hadley the junior tight end drops he's on that one take a look at the line of scrimmage here and north gwinnett still bringing the heat [Applause] spinnette's defense yeah i'm sorry yeah had him open did everything they needed to do he threw it to the right guy in the look open kazeski's number there eight of 17 66 yards third and 10 for the packers on the road every game in these playoffs trying to finish it off here in swaney antenna receiver was singleton but great job to break it up he was right there number 14 dj turner with a nice defense brings up fourth down the packers off the punt we have a flag on the play five straight incomplete passes obviously they're going to call pass interference [Music] [Applause] what a big stop here but again we talked about the problems with penalties uh for this conquered county and let's see if we can find it here on the replay tommy here it is right here there it is yeah that's almost a takedown that's not a hole that's a takedown well that's jaden mcdonald we talked about the senior linebacker and what a run he's had in these playoffs yeah that's uh that's a nice play if you can get away with it yeah ryan fitzgerald in the punt for his fifth part of the game i do believe short puck but takes a good packer roll and then some inside the 20 and oh my goodness look at that down to the 16 yard line 42 yard punt for ryan fitzgerald and so now it's up to the concrete county defense to see if they can stop this bulldogs offense north carnet looked really good in that opening series to get the go ahead touchdown fitzgerald is a very good weapon he has really played field position let's go down to john nelson now for some updates around the state all right thanks to our friends at the nfhs networks for letting us duck in for all of these games tame mayo was hurt and carried off the field big injury in that ball game coffee still leading lead by the score of 21 to 14 in a revenge game in region 1 6a rome is leading big hateful charter is leading big also on the board heading to the fourth bt leading marist seven nothing back up here to live action right now and that is uh on the outfield that outfit goodson i should say getting out to the edge on the first down for the bulldogs j.j peterson in chase are we having a good time we are yes we are peterson on the move as he always is yes he is gain of four second and six just joining us three three score at halftime northwind scoring a touchdown of goodson 18-yard run in their first possession and now a trick play here that's uh goodson with the flip play to giovanni cunningham he's still on his feet and gets uh some good yardage out of bounds and it'll be enough for a first down everything in the playbook is safe for this one doesn't matter who's watching now they're gonna use every play they've got perfect call at the right time 10 yard gain first down good block right there by erickson as well to make sure that he get caught on the back end we've talked about we can see how coach stewart really trying to get out into space trying to move the ball around and keep the defense honest exactly throughout this game that was a play right there we hadn't seen yet tonight yeah a little misdirection and they've not run the speed sweep very much yeah with the receiver which you know is almost the base for this offense right here well here's a different setup here that's butler and goodson in the backfield yeah with their zuwa correction make the number 31 crosby wow he had the big game in the first half good defense that time by conqueror they really saw that one coming they obviously knew what was happening there take a look at it good defense from the outside defensive end turned it up in and knocked everybody down good defense 33 dante moore was there also nathan bell the sophomore 6-2 2-12 defensive lineman number 49 good look at him right there loss of one of the plays second at 11 right now the 28th ticking out of the seven and a half minute mark in the third quarter here on gpb goodson 14 carry 71 yards crosby 251 with the handoff good move right there second effort by cameron butler still on his feet still going past the 35 and finally he is brought down [Applause] by revels the packers leading tackler this season but not before a big gain it'll bring up third and short for the bulldogs exactly eight yard pickup [Applause] big play here for the bulldogs and under 7 minutes to go and a big one for concord county as well third and two mizzou is going to change the play again the play clocks not operating relying on the officials snuffed out big play right there number 33 dante moore nathan bell both there to meet the ball carrier nothing there good defense that time by call for counter and that'll bring up fourth down a loss of about two officially lost at one now the punter's not on the field but we saw this in the first half we just did a quick drop kick as a result caught with county now they're caught yeah they think it's a [Applause] false start yeah on the offense exactly and it is that's what it is yeah well they were trying to they were trying to trick conquer county you can see the packers they already had a man back had the receiver back in the backfield here at the 35-yard line they weren't buying it that it was gonna be just a play from scrimmage on fourth down and now they're going to bring out their regular uh kick team and uh you can see coach stewart not happy he really thought that he had something there they did it first time was a great job uh with razor with the punt he got a good roll on it yeah it's very successful with the quick kick yeah okay now the old standard let's punt on fourth down that's right will reichardt is in the punt now only second penalty for northwind singletary is back but that's a very short punt and it's down right there at the 40. yeah only a 29-yard punt right there all right let's go down to johnny here's your look from the nfhs networks a personal foul call has moved the ball inside the red zone for blessed trinity up seven nothing you see the time left regulation ten minutes to go tim mcfarlane chasing after another state championship remember what happened two years ago guys losing in overtime to westminster they're 10 minutes away from the title back here live on first down that's a handoff right there and off and running it's actually that's krajesky the quarterback keeping it gained about six yards in the second and four need a sustained drive here do the packers [Music] bill stewart he is his own defensive coordinator what a job he's done so far calling the shots for this bulldogs defense second out of four from the 46 now kazewski [Applause] in the shotgun yet again quick throw out to his uh running back and he's still on his feet great job here to the 40. still going to the 30. he's from the 25 20 to the 10 and he's brought down there dejean edwards the sophomore with the big reception but there is a flag down here back at the 31-yard line let's see what happens if this play is going to hold up and keep an eye on rush probes if it goes against the packers wow you better believe it let's see what they call here 50-yard play on the defense it's the first warning it's first down so it's against north gwinnett see if we can see what happens oh what a great job right there yeah edwards again just a sophomore four star rated prospect as a sophomore but what did they call so it's uh not sure what it is but it's first down and goal at the seven yard line here's edwards again that's that that's legend of correction breaks a tackle can he get into the end zone no he's gonna be stopped at the one yard line now that's good blocking up front down there in the danger zone take a look at the conqueror county offensive line down there leggett went to his right cut back up the middle take a look at the blocking good blocking but found that hold right there how about mcdonald was right three that's the tackle that he shook yeah so second and goal now from the one hand off looking forward that is edwards he's in for the touchdown tell you what when you've got two backs that can do what those two can do you put one in gets you down there put another one in he carries it in edwards in this game going over the 1 000 yard mark for the season and the touchdown there for edwards he's over a thousand now all right that's right yes it was he's carried it eight times tonight for 22 yards but those just couple of yards there are very important absolute ball game 14th touchdown of the season for the sophomore edwards ryan fitzgerald in the tie it up and he does and just like that after a pair of field goals in the first half already in the third quarter a pair of touchdowns rhythm that's what we've been looking for let's take a look at it look at the blocking up front you know i might could have scored that touchdown only kidding on that right-hand side it just collapsed didn't it great job there the tcsg touchdown replay is going down to john nelson all right guys here's your update with what's going on around the state we saw it at seven nothing blessed trinity in the red zone steel chambers one of the best names in georgia high school football off the left-hand side into the end zone blessed trinity nine minutes away now from the titans first state title also on the board rome leading warner robbins by the score of 38 to nothing in warner robbins clinch and irwin are going back and forth fourth quarter halfway through clinch leading 14-12 irwin is driving great games once again of the eighth championship game slated for the mercedes-benz stadium last weekend the last six were postponed because of the weather and we're able to crown two champions in there what a great game that second one was tommy eu did uh what a finish there in a controversial play that touchdown that was uh called a fumble uh here we go here this is uh cunningham on the return for the bulldogs gets it out past the 25-yard line let's go back down to nelly all right guys guess what we've got more updates which means we go to clinton irwin fourth down and six jump ball into the back of the end zone and it looks like it's a touch back on a pick so it looks like clinch county with the pick in the end zone will get it at their own 20 under five minutes to go wow another job there meanwhile here cunningham at 16 yards on that return and so the bulldogs now back to a tie game we'll start their next offensive series here on their own 28. and look at the clock four minutes and six seconds left in the third quarter goodson going to the right side again he's had some success over there but nothing doing this time a host of white shirts led by number 49 nathan bell i'll tell you what watch this watch the end of the play here yep there's a face mask and the officials didn't see it it was blocked in his view with a loss of two they can't get them all can they would assume they could follow on a penalty on every play of a football game second and 12. urzua with a quick throw gets it out to his one of his favorite receivers number 22 that's lj fisher pick up there before you stop by nikon washington the sophomore defends it back for the packages well they've got some tall lengths too well well versed receivers they know how to run great patterns 11-yard gain on the play any pickup there brings a third in a long one for the bulldogs when you take a look at azura or zua so calm looking like this just another day in paradise yeah nothing oh look at this great not a big deal this is just another football game yeah great second effort there by uh tyler goodson as he ran right into the line but kept his legs moving and gets the first down yep you can look in their eyes and know when they're feeling confident or not and mr azua is confident this night certainly is talk about goodson in the playoffs here 290 yards against marietta 170 against grayson 150 against brookwood really uh come on strong here and just a junior 72 yards tonight on 17 carries [Applause] that's cameron butler with the big pickup from first down into packard territory and another first down for north gwinnett did you see reid the linebackers before they snapped the ball wow good call he gave the right he made the right move tommy both of these teams with some just a bevy of running backs 13-yard pickup there for the young uh this is not the starting running back right goodson's the starter butler again down the field yeah pick up about three on first down again these are two championship caliber football teams larry no doubt look once again 13-1 out of region six number one seed trying for their first ever state championship they made the finals back in 2007 and again in 2013 and trying to get it done here in the first year coach bill stewart yep two yard pick up actually the two coaches stewart on the right fresh folks going for his eighth career state title five in alabama and if you can come through tonight his third with funko county here in georgia goodson trying the right side again it doesn't get much number 60 brian merritt brought him down after a short game i tell you what though these lines of scrimmage you got to give these guys credit the offensive and defensive lines of close football team have left nothing on the field they have really gotten it done and tommy something too you know sensible teams have a touchdown it feels like it's gotten a little more intense in the trenches it has all right here's our number 55 the center third and eight right now no gain on that last play by goodson that's butler in the backfield with urzua back to pass he's under pressure gets it away and over throws his intended receiver downs and he went down urzua got hit in the backfield boy did he ever so now a decision for coach bill stewart fourth down and eight from the conquered 44-yard line let's take a look at that pressure he turned around and said something to the official [Music] well he took his legs out yeah he took his legs out i think down spelled he might have been helped yeah seven for 14 71 yards one interception he's already had a quick kick once and once again culprit county they've got a man back just in case this is actually a kick and we have another flag another flag down why do they get procedure on these quick kick formations they've had one in the last two times this is a warning to the corporate band not to play when northwind has the ball so they've got a uh warning against the caulkwood band yeah for playing during play during the huddle i guess okay [Applause] and that's why i played with stocks it's just a warning yeah look stop it stop and we expected a quick hit and quick and there it is and it's going to roll into the end zone this time singletary lets it go and so it winds up being a 44-yard punt for zouave let's go back down to john nelson all right guys uh teams and games are getting into fourth quarters late you saw the pick in the back of the end zone with clinch and erwin and so clinch now with about seven minutes to go or three sorry three minutes to go regulation is going to have to punt and send it back to buddy nobles and erwin county on offense so remember all irwin county needs is just to put it between the sticks for a one point win with three minutes to go one band morning one sideline warning and as kevin barnes our statistician reminds us last week there was a snow warning yes there was interesting to watch the snow come down during that uh 1a private game i was in the booth with matt stewart for that one wow here's the call another penalty against falkland county first down they have been plagued by mistakes this entire game yep five yards this time takes it back and so that's fact that's already their 10th penalty for 69 yards tommy makes it first and 15 from their own 15 now that's 69 yards you have to overcome yeah oh big play right there by number one quentin newsom we've called his name a few times what a job on defense wow that's being at the right place at the right time delivering the right leg yeah good timing there good job by singletary to hold on to that ball [Music] [Applause] we told you that that secondary from northwind with something special five yard pickup there brings up second down and 10 on the 20.

[Music] this time trying to get it to leggett a big mcdonald is right there jayden mcdonald we told you about him early on in the game it looks like he's gotten warmed up yeah the intensity is just you can really feel it ramping up here as we get late in the third quarter there he is we think he's turned it up a notch over the last three or four weeks he's been a special player of these bulldogs here in this postseason run 34 seconds to go right now third and 10. no mistakes down here packers changing the play russian four going sideline is a little high oh what a defensive play right there great job by number 14 dj turner the safety coming in to bat that ball away he plays gonna be a catch in a first down but nothing doing another great defeating player for north korea yeah i'll tell you that secondary for north gwinnett they've got four d1 prospects yeah they do no doubt it is tough to throw on that crowd dj turner just a junior he's been so active for them and of course again another punt here for caulkwood county under 30 seconds to go here in the third quarter live action from swaney class 7a title game fitzgerald the punt [Applause] [Music] i believe it hit somebody from north gwinnett and falcon county's got it first down 32-yard kick by fitzgerald what a turn of events yeah let's see what the call is going to be they gave it to him yeah that is exactly right here's the replay when we look at it 17 with the number he tried to duck it but it hit him in the back tristan weddington was the player that had hit it was a short punt he didn't see it like he said hit his leg yeah it did calgary county recovers and what a huge break for them after the defense stopped them cold they take over on the caught on the uh north winnette 48. that's ty leggett great move here still on his feet spin move gets inside the 45 and leggett great play there on first down county i'll tell you what larry between the two running backs from north ponette and the two running backs from caulking it doesn't get much better than hitting high school football it does not and that's going to wind up the third quarter of play and we've got a good one on our hands here the class 7a championship here on the great gpb what a job we have seen by the running game on both sides goodson getting it done and then later it's edwards the equalizer we're tied at ten through three

brother to you like as you can see just me smiling by like just thinking about all the memories that i've had playing hockey it's it's amazing 12 minutes to go as you can see the two head coaches that's bill stewart on the left rush probes on the right and caulkwood and north to gwinnett tied attempting to start the fourth quarter right here larry smith the legend tommy palmer john nelson on the sidelines and tommy we're looking at that uh that punt that really might change to be the key point in the game right here and uh what happened from the low angle uh replay of this all right here's fitzgerald's kick watch this boom in the head always know where the ball is there was nothing he could do about that no he had no idea nobody told him no duck yeah you know it was a little late excellent kick by fitzgerald but uh when you get in traffic you gotta know where the ball what's going on exactly here it is a chilly night here in swaney 31 degrees right now the wind chill at 24 as we start the fourth quarter here second and five for the packers that's leggett boy and he has just been swamped and guess who big number eight's mcdonald as we told you early on in the game this is a different player this guy has gone from being what many termed a three-star linebacker he probably over the last three or four weeks has become a four or five star player he's he's a kid that you can't ignore you look at what he's done in the last month he gets some great competition that's a big loss right there third and 15 now and it's back to the 47. how about krashesky what he's done two of his last four for 55 yards after throwing five straight incomplete passes let's see if we can make it three out of five right here no guess who yeah it's mcdonald again what did i tell you turning it up and on tommy he's warmed up yeah he has he's warmed up they're just sending him on basic stunts now they've got a four-man front watch what happens here here he comes just a stunt [Music] well he ran right past the blocker they kept edwards in to block him and he just pushed him aside you think he's fired up yes he is so a big loss there on third down brings up fourth down and another punt here by fitzgerald for cockwood county wow on to the turn good coverage that time by calqua county not much there for cunningham let's go back down to nelly all right guys the big one going on right now the tightest game is in single a public irwin county trying to come back and a blind side shot creates a fumble and it's picked up by clinch county at the 25 which means we show you if we show you defense we show you offense charles mcclellan from 25 yards out six in the end zone makes it 20 to 12. p-a-t pending 100 seconds to go looks like jim dickerson and the clinch county panthers are that much closer to a title first title of the night goes to rome 38 to nothing over warner robins in 5a what a job for them all back-to-back championships by the way clinch county runs the single wing and has for the last 10 years a fumble here in the box handoff by urzua is able to fall on it here on first down for this north banana offense trying to get the ball to uh to goodson a little confusion there five yard loss brings up second down from their own 13-yard line we mentioned yerzua job he's done 12-0 as a starter the senior taking over after cade fortin the texas a m commit broke his leg early in the season and urzua no excitement in his eyes you said cool and calm he still has the ball and uh the packers they weren't fooled at all big number 60 is there brian merritt richard revels also there on the stop for the packers and so now third and curry long for the bulldogs with under 10 minutes to go not happy with what happened right here boy caulking county brought the game they did somebody missed their blocking assignments on that one and there's not a lot of heat in the building no there's not a lot tonight we don't mind bringing heat yeah bring the heat that's right loss of two so third and 17 now from the 11.

[Applause] looking off to his right he's got a man that's downs with the catch but he's going to be well short of the first down and bring up fourth down in the punt team [Music] good defensive stand that time by concord county [Music] shy of the first down juicy lewis on the stop [Applause] [Music] so fourth down and some confusion right now again they're going to be surely not going for it but they're keeping the quarterback in urzua [Applause] he's in the shotgun nobody back to receive for conquering this uh if it's a quick kick it'll be the fourth time they tried it and yet another flag illegal procedure yet again looks like again third time they've done that they've lined up offense five oh he's hot coach stewart not happy [Applause] left tackles or the left guard shot oh he's not happy look at him and you can understand why this third time they've done this on the on the opportunity to punt [Applause] so a loss of five and the pug team will riker comes out the punt on the ground it'll be grounded right there at the 44. that's where concord will take over let's go back down to john nelson after that 36-yard punt all right let's spend some time with marist and blessed trinity the first ever catholic school all catholic school final in quad a you see the time remaining regulation about 90 seconds bt had a fourth and sixth toward midfield they decided to punt and that's what marist has 93 yards with chase absurd to try to get a tying score in 90 seconds and he's sacked right there big play on defense for blessed trinity first play out of the blocks meanwhile the big time sack here and that's the krazewski with the fake handoff held on to it instead and it's a fumble and it is north gwinnett's ball and look who it is again the star of the second half on defense jayden mcdonald tommy here it is there it is just literally knocked him down [Applause] jade mcdonald forcing the fumble there on that quarterback sack and here's one more look at it tommy let's see here who picked it up let's see knocked it three thirty two pictures that's josh schuler yeah sophomore linebacker and so once again some great plays on both ends big chart of events can the bulldogs capitalize first and ten that's butler with the big gain oh he's out almost to a first down looks like he has it a 10-yard pickup for the senior cameron butler on first down and they'll move the chains that moves the chains look at the blocking up front by northwind wow big hole at left tackle north gwinnett now very quickly again the bulldogs 13-1 buying for the first championship in school history [Applause] butler again finds a seam tommy again good blocking right now that bulldog offensive line doing a nice job just zone blocking they're just doing that zone blocking thing and the backs are finding the holes up front well that offensive line they're a really cohesive unit coach stewart says they cook pancakes on friday mornings really good players a lot of juniors anchored by the senior center they have been here they've been working since january as a unit weight lifting spending time together this is a very tight unit first down again it's butler again this time he stopped by revels he's had a big game richard revels the junior linebacker for caulkwood county [Music] [Applause] time is beginning to be a factor in this 6 42 left in the game and we're tied at 10. butler eight carries for 70 yards scoreboard right now is not working and so it's third down at about two it's not first and ten it's third and two first down run what a great job there by devin crosby the sophomores and make that happen and a first down great effort the four running backs two from both sides have definitely not disappointed rebels had him but he was able to get out of that arm tackle and make something happen and inside the 20-yard line first and ten goodson now he's gonna throw back to the quarterback for zula if he can get there oh he overthrew him you want to play and once again bill stewart reaching into his bag of tricks to see if one came up and he almost had six right there all of the plays in the playbook are fair game tonight and the bad news here that is goodson on the play he is down one more look at it he was hit after he threw that ball and goodson right now is down on the field play is stopped wow what happened to goodson what a crushing blow this would be to north gwinnett if he can't continue wow he was up and then he went down and that's when they stopped playing as you saw he was hit by conqueror county as he let the ball go on the throw back to urzua he looked to see where the ball went saul was incomplete tried to get up and looked like he went back down [Music] six minutes plus left in the game let's see what happened here there it is he just got tagged i mean he really got tagged i don't think it's a knee or an ankle well it may be it could be an ankle well he seems to be walking okay i think he just got tagged yeah he got hit late 72 yards with a big 18-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to give north winnette their only lead of the game that's a player who's been to work tonight you see that uniform that's why he's been to work only a junior we've talked about the kind of season that he has had and especially the run here in these playoffs 1315 yards coming in and that was the 20th touchdown that he scored in this game so the incomplete pass makes it a second and 10 now from the 18 for north gwinnett trying to go back on top here in this class 7a title game one of six around the state tonight here in georgia for missouri to downs first down four-man front for conquer that time downs with the catch [Applause] and this bulldog offense tommy trying to take advantage of that fumble recovery definitely boy this guy can play candy downs has been at the right place at the right time these wide receivers are really really fast and run great patterns well down to the sixth first and goal now for north gwinnett downs five catches 44 yards for the bulldogs urzua into the end zone actually just short it's a catch by downs but he's just a five-yard pickup just shy of the end zone so second down and goal for the one [Applause] you know tommy if that ball is a better thrown ball he he might be in the end zone but it was under thrown he had to go down to get it and that's why he was down at the one definitely butler and goodson in the backfield butler has the ball spin move can he get to the end zone yes it's a touchdown northwind nice move by butler one yard run and north gwinnett answers with a touchdown and the bulldogs turn defense into offense the big fumble uh on the sack mcdonald forced it and it turns into touch to six points now on the tcsg touchdown rebound here we go touchdown that was pretty much all the running back concord county had good defense on that but boy he did the good spin move there yeah look at look at the look at yeah look at the spin move and look at you know have the two guys right there in the backfield with hands on him and he spins away from it great veteran senior move definitely and north gwinnett's going to jump yet again this time on the extra point tommy as you mentioned you start to look at the clock right now timeouts left yep as you mentioned the penalty goes against northwind so they'll walk it back five and try it again the extra point make it 17-10 and the packers have gotten to answer and yeah they just have to answer there's no other way to put it they have to answer here you saw bill stewart there first year here at north gwinnett's 13-1 trying to get his first state title wow and he missed the extra points wow [Applause] checking to see uh no flags okay that's the way it is so 550 to go north gwinnett back on top again but can the defense make it hold we're back after this with caulk coming on offense [Applause] regions bank is always looking for opportunities to help communities and individuals move forward

seconds away from trying to get it happened here on their home turf record here they kick it off that ball goes deep oh and he slips down that ball will be down oh no they're going to say it's a touch back wow he really escaped that was todd leggett who slipped that could have been down at the one could have been touched back in the end drive tommy yeah northwind scoring drive for technical college system of georgia eight plays 42 yards time of possession two minutes and four seconds butler carried it four times 19 yards and had the td on the drive tommy looking at that too that ball could have been a safety as well it could have been concur county really fortunate on that so instead they take it up take it away on their uh first down on their own 20. quick out to singletary he's met

out of that still on his feet finally out of bounds after a pretty good gain bring up third down here for the packers and stops the clock by going out of bounds [Applause] got to punch it in here if you're conquered county unless you're going to keep it running i thought he went out of bounds i thought he did too [Applause] inside 320 approaching 315. third and five three-yard gain krajewski handoff to leggett he stopped big play yeah but once again by the bulldog defense and a fourth down play here that the packers have to go for it here's your season right here count fourth down 71 knocks denning on the play the senior defensive tackle fourth and three now ball on the 20 under three minutes to go state championship on the line you can feel the stands rocking beneath our feet here in the press box as you can see [Applause] clock still running again that's the stands rocking but beneath the press box that's why your camera is jumping up and down and a tight hook by the packers listen we have the best crew the best cameramen and women in the business yeah and that's a look that's a shot right now we're gonna that's us waving that's us we're right there you can see us and right now we're on solid ground uh but a guy who's not even better ground john nelson down on the sidelines all right we're getting some finals around but let's show you the one game in play in addition to this one jace orndorff winds up and fires 30 yards for the touchdown catch thanks to the friends of the nfhs network leesburg has a ball game two minutes to go and the r word tommy palmer regulation tied at 21-21 hateful charter has also won 35-23 at raven county and clinch rushes to another title 21-12 over irwin in single a public well here we are rocking around the football field here during this holiday season oh what a great season it's been here on gpb and uh i will tell you what no more dedicated crew than the people working and bringing these games every friday night as we close out our season or 2017. fourth and three now from the 20. that's edwards in motion congestion flush from the pocket throws left and it's slow incomplete he's going to call a catch he called a catch he sure did call to catch i thought he was going to wave it off my mistake oh my goodness one more look at it it's a catch it it is a catch or is it well let's take one more look at it tommy i'm not gonna get into that again okay i've already been through see this one that's pretty close close enough i tell you that packers season lives on first and ten from the 15. edwards with the carry gets a couple of yards but a host of red shirts there number 23 to marny ridley among them less than two minutes remaining no sense of urgency here by alcohol county is there let's look at mr krajewski let's see what he looks like under pressure here he's just as cool as the weather second and eight two yard gain there championship on the line leggett he's brought down big number eight mcdonald's well he's out of game hasn't what season what a postseason he's yeah he has he really has scored a defensive touchdown last week in the semifinals to help propel the bulldogs to the title game tommy to your point now third and eight and you're left just letting the clock run yeah they're not worried about it they've got two timeouts left [Applause] one minute left there's a sense of urgency [Applause] to the tied in josh hadley 13 yard i told you there was no sense of urgency they knew what they were going to do my goodness isn't that great through look at this watch this krazewski fires complete the big tight end he was the forgotten receiver out there by the defense look how wide open he was nobody anywhere closer than they're on the tcsg touchdown replay and so we're tied up and now the crucial extra point on that touchdown that uh the bulldogs just scored once again they missed the extra point after the five yard penalty to push them back five yards and so here we go for the lead here it is and ryan fitzgerald is true and it's the packers with a one point lead on the road wow what a post season it's been for them they have won every game in these playoffs on the road what did i tell you what did i tell you though they play better behind they play better without a sense of or with a sense of urgency what a great catch by the tight end just a little simple down and out and all he wanted to do was think yeah yeah i think well be smart at this point here's what happened just a moment ago once again on this uh the miss extra point it just you just said it just left that was an application penalty it never did spin like properly it had that front effect to it and right then tommy and you called it there at about the 549 mark you said hey listen this they've left the door open let's see what caulker can walk through it and they did yeah 11 plays 80 yards five minutes off the clock they never got in a hurry oh my goodness this is championship football as good as it gets larry it really is it is these stands that were rocking about five minutes ago now rsp as peaceful as almost as if no one is even in them so now the pressure back on the other side and the stands on the other side are rocking i'm sure aren't they they are full of people from moultrie georgia we can promise you that 49.5 seconds now and so it is concrete county the one point lead north gwinnett can they come back and go back on top and win their first ever state championship fitzgerald kicks it into the end zone and they bring it out to the 20. now the good news here no time goes off the clock if you are short with that and with all three timeouts remaining take over on your own 20. well i don't think they're gonna i don't think they're gonna play prevent here i believe they're gonna pressure north gwinnett here yeah two timeouts for both teams still remaining and 49 seconds is an eternity it is and here we go jimmy urzua the senior quarterback 12-0 as a starter first down play looks for his man fischer he's got him all bobbled the ball he gets it back 12-yard pickup it's a first down 13 yards on the game check that yeah good throw and on the exchange from one hand to the other almost dropped it got it hurry up now for urzua back to pass again this time he's got downs he gets it out of bounds another first down very quickly another pickup this time 11 yards another first down for the bulldogs wow 32 seconds on the clock it stopped he went out of bounds they moved the chains [Applause] the senior the homecoming king can he cap it off for the state championship gets it to goodson he's back in the game after the injury he's passed midfield to the 45 and out of bounds and here we go another first down for north gwinnett still with 26 seconds on the clock another 20 yards we're in field goal distance 10-yard gain for north carnet and so we saw the cool calm collected of the caulkwood county offense north gwinnett matching the cool and we've got a timeout now by the packers wow 26.7 seconds left to regroup on defense let's go down to uh john nelson now for more all right we've got a couple games in play and one of the games in play is right here you see the time left regulation we are tied at 21. coffee and lee county the verdict is free football it's wide we go to overtime with coffee and lee out of region 1-6 a they need at least a fifth quarter yeah it was a low snap as you can tell boy when when when you get a low snap and the timing's off generally the kick is not good they went what some uh we've had some great games this weekend again six championship games tonight all across the state thanks to the weather last weekend that uh postponed them after the first two games were played at mercedes-benz stadium hate that these kids having a chance to play in the new dome up there but uh a chance to play for the championship okay first and ten of the forty five three-man rush by conqueror outstanding he's under pressure and he's thrown down and he fumbles the ball and it goes out of bounds at the fourth they're going to say he's down right there peterson yeah the all-american big time players make big time plays he just made one i think mirroring the quarterback got him down good patience right there and here's the bigger key now a lot of time ticked off the clock you're down to 15 seconds now yeah 11 yard loss on the play and a timeout by northwinette no i think it was about concord county yet again it was north carolina now we're seeing it yeah and they're putting some time back on the clock yeah well i think the reason why is i think that the clock's still running as the ball squirted out of bounds but the referee called it down when when he was down okay let's take a look at how concrete county got it we've talked about this amazing run all of these wins uh coming on the road here as they went to pebblebrook and routed them what a game against archer and then surviving walton and then lastly coming back up against the atlanta area beating three number one season atlanta area to get here there you go this would be number four this would be number four that is exactly right wow all right concord county one time out left north gwinnett one time out left conflict county wants the clock to run they don't need timeout triple set up there top of your screen jimmy urzua 18.5 left good protection that ball is thrown the intended target was giovanni cunningham the junior good coverage by call quick county out there that time marzulla had to throw it short and that brings up a third down but more importantly 13 seconds left on the clock yeah go back to that missed extra point earlier in the touchdown earlier in the fourth quarter and made it just 16-10 in north quinn otherwise we'd be tied right now boy urzua has been so cool in this football game and so has produced [Music] both of them cool cucumbers aren't they outstanding here we go third down he's under pressure throws it away that's gonna bring up fourth down nine seconds left [Applause] great pressure right there number 47 yep carter boat right we've called brian merritt's number a lot number 60 homer look at him yo another look good boy oh from point one nowhere to go and nowhere to hide and so here it is nine seconds left boy things were going so well for them urzua was three of three when there's a penalty now against cauca county boy that's big wow 13 out of 2 437 yards for azure what was the call looks like it was a holden 10 yard penalties announced to the 46 third and 11. nine seconds to go horcrunnette has a timeout left urzua going for gonna go deep oh through the hands of lj fisher three seconds left perfect throat he'll be talking about that one before will many many years to come watch this and it's right there wow one more look at the end right there good job by caleb dawson to not be interfering in the neighborhood but not interfere you're exactly correct and so we see bill stewart calling his final timeout right now with three seconds on the clock and a fourth down play coming up and so the game will come down to this yeah north gwinnett 13-1 the number one seed out of region six third time in the finals trying to make the third time the charm bill stewart what a job you know we talked to him last week before uh the games were canceled he talked about feeling this you see you know he said there was times in the spring he said we're just not very good right now but he said but he saw some things that really came through later so the milton game was a big turning point for them yeah and they moved to center and and the offensive line gel that thing's gonna take off from there and with the people that he's had hurt this year they've done a marvelous job of patching and mending and making a run good look at stuart on the other side crush probes we talked about what he has done down there back to back state titles 2014 2015 and now here in a so-called down year one play away from a third state championship in moultrie and here we go fourth down play bulldogs down by one and we've got a flag [Applause] illegal substitutions so five more yards puts it on the 41. wow and again looking at a hail mary play so as you can see three defensive backs inside the five-yard line for caulkwood county and another whistle [Applause] some concord coaches are on the field [Applause] so it's another illegal substitution call against caulkwood county [Applause] five more yards they'll put it to the 36-yard line 41 that'd be a 51-yard field goal what do you think i don't think he has the leg call for three penalties for 20 yards in this drive three seconds left final play of the season in class 7a urzua going deep up high there's a penalty on the play down's trying to say that he has it i don't know but he caught up and see what the call is here's a replay downs going up oh my goodness he did not catch it no it's an incomplete pass interference defense pass interference on the defense first down and so north gwinnett with no time on the clock [Applause] we'll have one more play he doesn't i don't think he has a timeout [Applause] can't end on a defensive penalty yeah so we have one more play so because of the two penalties already making it from the well we had three penalties on the 44 uh of of north gwinnett went to the 46th of conquering then the 41 then the 36. he's going to let him kick it he's talking to him now want a ton of events here because now you are within probably field goal range because if you're down now to the 21 you're talking about about a 38 yard one more look at this play on the end you can see here going up and there's no question right there number three juicy lewis hitting uh number 11 downs before the ball got there so that's an easy call for the reps four penalties for 35 yards in this drive for colquin county well think of it this way northwind just moments ago they were struggling on third down on their own 44. right now they have a shot at a field goal on the 21 of conquering without with just penalties exactly with they didn't gain any yards on offense these are all penalties yep 10 20 35 would you say 35 35 yards four penalties four penalties here we go and so to your point it's on the 21 and so will reichert who missed the extra point earlier and missed a field goal in the first half has a chance now to give north gwinnett the first ever state championship exactly all right riley walker is the holder field goal attempt payne walker the long snapper no time on the clock the kick is up and it's good [Applause] 1917 how you like this tommy palmer that is a finish oh my goodness oh my goodness 38 yard field goal attempt good 38 driver with no time on the clock [Applause] 38 yards and puts it through by the way the 15-yard penalty with no time on the clock was the longest play of the drive and it cost coach probst and colquitt county their third championship in four years wow penalties were their achilles heel the entire game and it turned out to be a fatal blow for these packers from cockwood county it bit him one more time sure did at the end wow what a finish let's go down to john nelson on the side all right i saw what coach was talking to you about in the huddle for everyone around the world that didn't get to listen to it he was telling you this was house money go through that conversation uh it was basically saying how like every once in practice we do this every one of the team wants around me and he's just telling me i have done this before i can do it and he believes in me so i love him for that he's awesome coach run through wednesdays for me what's the clock is it 10 9 8 counting down or what's the what's going in that drill uh well basically there's three field goals and we keep backing it up and everyone on the team gets right around me on my back throwing stuff at me uh just just trying to give me pressure to make me better for this moment so i love my team for that you nailed it go celebrate and by the way remember to breathe thank you let's send it back upstairs so we'll be back in a sec trophy presentation the man will not have to buy any meal ever ever again in gwinnett county cameron clark cameron clark wanted what a finish for him misses the extra point comes back and hits the game-winner the thing that i like i saw coach stewart look him in the eye and say you can do this you can do this i was reading his lips he said you can do this and he did he did it no and the 15-yard penalty was the longest of the drive that was the longest ball movement of the drive that was amazing when you think about you look at what urzua did the three for three for 35 yards to start that drive and get them into conquer territory and then the big sack at that point they lose yards they're third and 21 and then the penalties kick in a 10-yard penalty a five-yard penalty a five-yard penalty and then the big one the pass interference down there where the player was turned around wasn't looking at it kind of an obvious call there sure the game cannot end on a defensive penalty as you know 15 yards down to the 21. he calls a timeout sends out cameron clark gives him the words of the but and it's amazing he talked about you know when we talked to him last week he said you know i don't really give kids big speeches no he doesn't i they kind of know what they're doing already exactly he knew what to do this is this is just doing in a game what they practiced every day every day eight plays 59 yards as we mentioned before so much of that again was on penalties by the packers only 49 seconds again conquered county scoring the touchdown and the go ahead uh extra point with just 49 seconds left they were cool common collected going down the field felt like they had the third title in their hands but this is why you play the games and the emotions of on this field from both sides the fan base is outstanding both communities the programs outstanding neither team expected to be here really again overshooting their expectations this bulldogs team hadn't reached double digits since 2013 and here they are in 2017 state champions all of the losses that call quick county has suffered this year have been painful last second if you remember yeah i think that's the way it's been the entire year for them they've lost them late this one will be remembered for many years to come as one of the most painful in concord county history well i think too because of the penalties when they when when they get over the emotion of this go back and look right they will see so many times that they had chances to to put this team away and the penalties from the from the opening drive they had it so many different times yeah and the thing the thing that also you have to remember is how smoothly they came back down the field and took the lead and gave north gwinnett the ball back they probably scored a bit too early with 49 seconds left on the clock if you remember [Applause] so 1917 and let's go back earlier in the fourth quarter cameron clark this is after a touchdown in the five yard penalty he misses yeah wide left this is the extra point made it 1610 instead of 17 ted yeah and and there's cameron clark right there but he comes back later and redeems himself from 38 yards out and uh this young man will be going to class for unions for decades to come and he'll be the one he'll be the one that hit it he'll be the guy and we'll always remember the press box rocking that's what field goal went through that's right wow in this north gwinnett program and now celebrates its first championship after missing twice in the finals in 2007 and 2013. by the way for caulk we talked about the penalties 15 penalties 109 yards for them for 35 there on that final drive and again the 38-yard field goal remember the name cameron clark and there he is number 93 somebody somewhere is already gonna at home there's an artist who's already gonna make some kind of artwork to put up i'm sure in the hallways town here class 7a championship let's go down to john nelson all right let's talk to someone who was kind of in the pile most of the day have you had the chance to catch your breath yet after being in the trenches all day jayden i mean we fought hard man coach told me every time i got tired he told me just fight through it fight through it man get the ring i'm just i just want to thank my team man these fans everybody man i'm just really happy go through this last drive in your head where you're having to watch the offense take it down the field knowing they're the ones that have to get the points on the board i mean every time i mean we knew big play is going to happen because it's a state championship game so coach told us anytime something big happened just play next play make the next plays last play so you got to play it like that play religiously have you played that's what we did i know like stuff might not win our way at the end but that's what that's what we'll see what happens man we just rely on other teammates and they get it done so you lose your first game coming out of the blocks at the kell then you go on a roll you go on a roll and you keep winning and you keep winning and you keep winning to get to this day has it sunk in yet what you guys have been able to do this year yes i mean every every week in practice coach and we get out there every day we get out there every day after the first game coach told us he knows he knew what this team was capable of so we went in every day every week and put in work and you seen the results congratulations my friend you are now officially the state champ shane mcdonald state champ send it back upstairs yeah he went through his hands all right what do you think buddy yeah we've got people here are still buzzing about exactly what happened on that uh that defensive uh interference play right there you know i go back to what what bill stewart talked about and he said one of the first things he said tommy when you and i were talking to him he said you know from the start the kids bought in yeah and and and you know mcdonald's talked about that here right there he said you know in spring he mentioned you know what at one point he thought gee we're awful they said some days are better than others but you know that's what this is all about that's what sports is about that's what football's about that's what life is about well um to to to keep at it let me let me put it this way if i can do a short analogy of what happened sure we saw the greatest example of young men being a team tonight this was a great effort even with time against them they did what they needed to do to win the ball game yeah tommy uh you are a legend and it is always an honor my friend my buddy we we go way back you and i three for five years uh where does this rank for you and in the games that you've seen you've got to be one of the better games i i don't remember ever seeing but one other game in my broadcast career where a field goal wanted on the last play of the game that's great it's amazing it's a great game listen we're blessed people we get to watch good football games and boy did we see one tonight and we get to see just some uh and some fan some fantastic uh young men uh as you said and the coaches as well and and they're you know by the way by the way is our spotter uh elijah smith he just became an eagle scout tuesday night so gotta get in get in get in the thing for the buzz for him but but but tommy you know it is uh when you talk about it again in terms of seeing this kind of play and seeing right just the chess match going back to the beginning what we saw of rush cross waiting for didn't bring his players out the field right away i mean the chess match began before the first kickoff sure and then you see conquer county and tribute to them using the clock going all the way down the field driving playing better from behind then leaving 49 seconds on the clock and then the four penalties coming down here this was a classic example the last five minutes of this football game was example of teamwork on both teams both teams played well they they they didn't leave anything on the field they played their hearts out tonight and and we owe them a both uh a debt of gratitude larry we really do we really do you look at we talked about as we've got to look there at cameron clark the hero of the night and again and so many great analogies life analogies you know what if at first you don't succeed try try again get another shot and he was absolutely perfect your quarterback jimmy urzua again taking over the senior quarterback began as the back-up kate forten who was the star of the team he's going to head to texas a m next year breaks his leg in the second game all urzua does is go 13-0 the rest of the way and bring home the state championship i'm telling you it's a great football game we we were honored to call this one and it was a great one hey what can i tell you yeah this is as good as it gets in high school football cameron clark outstanding 14-1 north gwinnett finishes the season and they've got a lot of young players uh coming back we talked about goodson the young star it's just a junior he said one of the best running backs in the state there's no question he got banged up came back on and had some key plays there late in the game you know you can't say enough about this program and take nothing away from concord county and what they have done and rush probes he's got some decisions to make coming up it sounds like we wish him the best there's no question what he has meant to the game of football can never be measured but tonight is north gwinnett's night and like you said just stay with that with 49 seconds left on your own 20-yard line and even though again they got they got it moving the first three plays and then stalled but they never gave up and let conquered make the mistakes when was their time they came through right and and my my thanks to the guys in the truck they made this a wonderful night you guys are the best i love working with you guys boy they were great weren't they yeah coming down that stretch oh always the great camera work we saw again on the uh caulkwood county punt that went off the north quinet player right a great cam work there to show exactly that the ball hit him in the back of the head the great work here on the final play of regulation that the the defensive penalty sure the great work there to show that the ball was actually incomplete uh but there's no question there was a penalty so in the field and then the field goal as well the different angles of that yeah it is it's i i can't think of a more fitting way it's unfortunate that again that these kids couldn't do this in mercedes-benz stadium last week but mother nature had other ideas and mom's rule as we all know but you know what that's true there's there's no better other than that there's no better way to finish off the 2017 uh ghsa season right here in gpb than with this kind of match-up uh the the emotions of this when you think about northwind taking the lead the touchdown and then the missed extra point conquer coming back the touchdown pass the tight end 49 seconds looks like they're going to win it and then the bulldogs come through where they started this year where they finish that's that's why we play the games that's why we love the games that's why we love this game it's the best game going folks i'm telling you outstanding we talked about again their run northwind the way they ran through and coach stewart saying you know look at the teams that we had to beat almost every team that we beat went too deep in the playoffs is a murderer's role and if this is a harbinger of things to come this class 7a right in the future this is just year one of this boy listen there's some talent out there there's some talent there is no question 1917 the cow north gwinnett the bulldogs winning their first ever state championship uh in their third trip and so they surely do as the uh the old saying goes made the third time the charm tonight know swanny a chilly night with temperatures that wound up below freezing uh but i can tell you what there are people down there probably without coats on that don't even feel it i saw a couple of coaches walking the sidelines with short sleeve shirts on come on folks let's not do that to us you know this is exciting john nelson's down right there let's go down to nelly john nelson take it away all right we are here amongst a sea of red the hounds of justice happened at the last i hear you yeah it was unbelievable i mean it's a god thing these guys these guys were destined to do this uh you know what they've been playing like a family you know and we always talk about forget about me i love you and that's what these guys did all year and uh you know they're a talented bunch they've been gifted and and uh praise god we got here go through that last talk that you were having with the kicker i mean i was listening to it you were telling this was house money this is every wednesday that this happened yeah and you know i told him it was house money on we didn't deserve that chance you know like we we got the chance but but at the end of the day you know this was an extra one we didn't know we were going to get and so that you know i was just trying to take the pressure off of him on let's kick this thing you know let's let's make this thing happen and so uh unbelievable he did that you know and and you know for a guy to do that after he missed the extra point and then come back and kick a field goal like that in that moment it's unbelievable has it sunk in what you've been able to accomplish this year you lose your first game coming out of the blocks you come back you lose your starting quarterback who is heading to an sec school everybody steps in next man up you win you win you win and you win the last game of the year yeah and even this game i mean we had uh you know my will linebacker broke his collarbone and then uh you know and then my mic linebacker my son was you know his arm was dangling and stuff and so kids kept playing people had to jump in and uh and that's what they did all year and and so every game and even in the playoffs everybody's had to step up and it's next man up but they've been doing it because they're connected and they're connected as community and that's and that's how we've won yeah i haven't it hasn't sunk in let me ask you this one last question yeah you got to do this with your son oh my god how cool is that that's unbelievable i mean i can't can't express it you know for for uh uh us traveling over here and doing this and and and uh yeah you can't can uh words can't explain congratulations celebrate we'll get out of the way so much thank you appreciate you man thank you let's send it over the post game show with nikki it starts over there at the tent right now [Music] [Applause] [Music] congratulations to the north gwinnett bulldogs their first ever state title i am still you know it's impossible to sweat out here right now but i am sweating i think those fans are sweating too check out that celebration on the field well deserved i mean both of these teams young teams no one thought they would even be here for another year but yet here they are fighting it out and i would say all the way up until the last second but as we all know they didn't even have a last second that just came down to the final play so this entire game nothing but highlights everyone was working hard but we all know there can only be one union 72 hardest working player of the game and guys we got to give it to north gwinnett's number 93 cameron clark people will be telling this story for years to come that's his missed kick earlier in the game which for a while we thought was going to determine this game and then he's got the pep talk with bill stewart he looks at him he says you know what i believe in you i think he can do it and here is the final play of the game no time on the clock and he wins that state title first ever for north gwinnett welcome back john you have been gone you have been out there you've got a giant glow on your face too it's called freezing nick well there's freezing there's happy there's all the emotions i mean both of these teams what a game and you know when when you have these championships and we call it old school just at the beginning of the evening we called it old school because it's home sites

ebbs and flows that it had you had leads back and forth you had the game was tied at the break at three and then you had a touchdown then you have a missed p-a-t at 16-10 and all this stuff's going back and forth and you end up with a result like we had here it was a tremendous end of the season what are the folks saying on the twitters by the way i've had to narrow it down john because

look at it if you're a north gwinnett fan winners of the 7a state championship here on georgia public broadcasting tremendous season for concord county going on the road for six straight weeks

from colquitt county when it comes to the packers and packer nation out of region 1-7-8 for the years to come they are stacked they are loaded and they should be back toward games 14 and 15 as we go and take a look at how we got to this moment in time and early on the bounce seemed to work early on for north gwinnett get to the corner and it's no longer tied at three that's what happens when you hand the ball off to tyler goodson then 10-10 this is what happens once again dayton edwards as a support once again the bounce working cam butler gets his way there and it's 16-10. here comes krajewski winding up and firing to the loneliest man in the place hadley the tight end 17-16 you see that dance nothing wrong with that but then money ball game title north gwinnett right there and i

has not stopped either here on georgia public broadcasting or at tom robinson memorial stadium here in swaney north gwinnett your 7-8 champs part of the six teams that were decided tonight when it comes to state champs all around the state we went old school home sites got the last game of the year we were plus ones today and we welcome in two guys who decided to come in from the heat and come down here to the front there was no heat up there brother no and the window was open now whose issue was that that was his that was his choice all right so the game from your perspective you guys were upstairs yeah i have to say that really this was one of the best games let me go let me start with you larry one of the best games regardless of classification that i've ever seen i i think regardless of sport and the what i was thinking about just now as you guys were talking a moment ago i go back to the 2006 u.s open when phil mickelson is leading after 71 holes and he tanks on the final hole and jeff ogilvie comes out i think still the only major he's ever won and he wins the major in surprising fashion it's never over to latoya it really isn't and i and we were talking before as you were getting ready and talking to coach on here in the champions that this is why we love the games this is why we want i don't i don't watch reality shows i couldn't tell you the kardashians or no i don't know whatever survival whatever i don't blame you brother this is the original how could you not enjoy this if your team doesn't win how can you not enjoy this how could yeah how can you not enjoy this and then there's a reason that most coaches are teaching play the full 48 minutes uh if you remember we thought conquered had captured the victory with 49 seconds left in 49 and a half seconds left you know we said gosh you know that's a long field he kicks it to the end zone they're 80 yards away but we were not planning on 35 yards of penalties and that's that that's just the way it worked out you know and i wanted i think that after the sack of of urzua they were third and like 21 with maybe like 19 seconds left and never actually they didn't gain any more yards themselves it was all penalties but you have to snap the ball and do the things exactly and they put themselves in the right spot for clark mcdonald yeah you did he did tell me that once once he got warmed up he was unstoppable he was everywhere mirroring the quarterback i mean he was all over the place throwing people around but like you said tommy he was having a great time yeah he was enjoying the game but i will say this for both teams we we saw four of as good of running backs as you'll see conquer county and also for north gwinnett these were just great football players look at this oh i'm telling you when he got heated up it got interesting out there didn't it serious yes so now let's talk about the other action that happened tonight tommy let me start with you okay the the cliff's notes version it was clinch hateful charter right rome right coffee loses in overtime right and a dominating performance by rome and blessed trinity the cliffs notes version well i think probably to be honest with you the biggest surprise to me had to be number one blessed trinity and then number two hipville charter and the reason is is because marist beat them 25-24 the first time they played and uh then this time i think marist had really a tough time getting any offense going against blessed trinity they really got going with their linebackers obviously but then the other was you know when you think about raven county they've scored so many points the highest scoring team in the state of georgia hateful charter shut the mill house down as we say in my section of the state at their place yeah all right we'll come back to you guys in just a sec what else is going on in the world that is social john you said it no one's going to sleep no one's stopping and it's the same situation on the internet we've just got a couple of tweets that we want to show you here views from the couch supporting our dogs from home with our heater ladies i ain't even mad at it it's smart you look cozy we're

distracted driving we show you testimonials from time to time we've shown you a couple tonight we've shown you some all season long about the importance of distracted driving and putting the phone down let's hear carla duggan's testimony before the accident my friends didn't think anything about texting and driving calling snapchatting checking instagram taking facebook twitter it was fun it was just things that we did and we no one got hurt until i did i was driving home from my boyfriend's house and my friends were texting her out parties i looked up and i was off the road and i over corrected and flipped over three times when the paramedics found me and lifted the car off me i said for a few minutes [Music] after that i had to relearn how to talk how to swallow how they eat when i see someone texting and driving i usually um roll down my window and tell them to like put their thing down everyone knows that until their friend or family can get an accident like i did and they
